The mission of
Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE) is to prevent suicide through public awareness and education, reduce stigma, and serve as a resource to those touched by suicide. Daniel Reidenberg, Executive Director of SAVE, is humbled by the number of musicians and labels willing to partner on this project. "To have names like we do on 'Hope, Volume One' is incredible to me," Reidenberg said. "These artists are willing to stand up and fight the stigma associated with mental illnesses and suicide, and to tell the world through music 'we are going to do something positive about this' - and that is the goal of this CD."
'Hope, Volume One' is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com and can be purchased on June 24, 2008 courtesy of Visionary Concepts via iTunes, CD Baby, and most digital retailers.
