September 8-14: Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week

November 1: Connections of Hope Gala

November 15: The Firetag Invitational Golf Tournament

A Message from Our Executive Director:2012 is Our Most Successful Year!

I recently attended a daylong seminar entitled “Great by Choice” which examined what made great leadership and subsequently, great businesses. I began to think about how businesses measure success. More to the point, how do you know if you have been successful if you are a nonprofit organization? This past year we have really focused as an organization on changing our thought process from viewing Teen Lifeline as a nonprofit, and shift to thinking simply we are about the impact we are having on our community. It is no longer about what we are and what we are not. We are an organization dedicated to ending teen suicide by empowering youth to make healthy choices thus saving lives

of teens in Arizona! This is why we exist.

When you begin to look at your organization in this way it really changes what success means. It is no longer about the money raised, even though 2012 was the best fundraising year in our history. Success isn’t just the bottom line, even though we did exceed our budget goals last year too. It becomes less about the how and what we do as a business, like the fact that we hired 2 new staff members and added a new program. The measure of success is the lives we are changing and the impact we are having on the youth we serve.

So as you read this year’s annual report, pay close attention to the highlights about the lives we have touched and how we are making a difference for youth in Arizona. You will read information on budget numbers, fundraising, events and more. But as I remember last year, it was lives changed that left me inspired.

I know that we are making a choice to do great things by focusing on our mission and vision. To be in business we have to hit those budget numbers and raise funds for our programs, but at the end of the day, what really counts are the lives we are changing. And using this measure of success, I can honestly say that 2012 has been our most successful year thus far!!!Sincerely,Michelle Moorhead, MA, LPCExecutive Director

“I’ve only been a part of the Teen Lifeline family since January, but if you met me before that day I stepped into training and before the day I took my first suicide call, you wouldn’t recognize me. I now have faith in myself and faith in the callers I speak to.” - Jason, Peer Counselor

Social Media CampaignIn 2012, Teen Lifeline launched our new digital presence with a social media campaign. This new program is an extension of our Community Education program and allows us to meet teens where they are at, on-line. We are now able to provide the same life-saving messaging and prevention information digitally as we do to 35,000+ teens a year in Arizona schools. Funding from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and through the Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention Grant in partnership with the Arizona Department of Health, helped support the development, design and implementation of a social networking campaign aimed at providing prevention education, supportive resources and interactive health education to teens, parents and other adults who work with adolescents. Specifically, with the help of Terralever, we were able to hire a new Communications Specialist, launch our presence on Facebook, revamp our YouTube channel, begin the design of a new website and a blog to be housed within the website. With the launch of the campaign last year, 2013 will begin with the implementation of the newly designed website and blog where the public can go for information on Teen Lifeline and gain knowledge on resources available.

Seventh Annual Firetag Golf Invitational Teen Lifeline’s annual golf tournament fundraiser honors one of our most cherished supporters and founding Board President, Jules Firetag. The tournament was held at the Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club on November 17, 2012. It was a day filled with tasty food, good conversation and wonderful weather for hitting some golf balls. It concluded with a silent auction and awards ceremony. It is through events like this that we are able to honor our most valuable supporters and raise funds to continue impacting lives. Thanks to Honorary Chair Lanny Lahr and Working Chair Mike Gray, this year’s golf tournament raised nearly $35,000 and hosted 64 golfers. Thank you to the Jet Companies, our title sponsor, for your support.

**Teen Lifeline is also grateful to the hundreds of individuals who contributed up to $199 to our organization in 2012. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this listing.

“I’m not one of those people who likes to talk about my problems. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my personal issues. A lot of teens suffer from depression, and I feel I’m one of those teens. Today changes my point of view on things.”- A student after listening to one of Teen Lifeline’s prevention workshops

A total of 81 teens volunteered 12,160 hours of their time to Teen Lifeline in 2012. That equates to 150 hours per teen. Teen Lifeline also provided 55 new teens with Life Skills Development training. On average,

each teen will answer 150 hotline calls annually.

Teen Lifeline provides awareness, prevention, and education services to community organizations throughout Arizona. We

reached 36,003 people through these services provided at 72 high schools, 38 middle schools, 8 conferences, 7 corporations, 53 community and youth organizations, and 1 church.

“Before I was a peer counselor, I was a caller who desperately needed direction. The peer counselors at Teen Lifeline made me feel safe and secure, something that I hadn’t felt in years. Months had passed, and many phone calls to Teen Lifeline later, I was truly stable for the first time in ages...Teen Lifeline saved me.”- Jennifer, Peer Counselor

2012 Connections of Hope: An Evening to Celebrate Arizona’s YouthThis year’s Connections of Hope event, formerly known as the Crystal Ball, was record-breaking and we have all of our loyal supporters to thank for that. The event honored USA Olympic Basketball Chairman, Arizona businessman and entrepreneur Jerry Colangelo with the Alfredo J. Molina Community Lifeline Award. Colangelo has played a key role that transcends sports, and is one of the city’s most active community leaders.

This award is presented at our annual gala to an individual who has made service to others, specifically youth, a priority throughout their lifetime. “When you think about the youth in this community and all of the issues and problems in this society we live in and you have the opportunity to reach out and help those with life and death kinds of issues, that is the kind of effort we should get our

money behind and support. Because saving lives is as important as it gets,” Colangelo said.

The evening also provided an opportunity to celebrate Arizona youth. As part of this celebration, Teen Lifeline was proud to recognize the “Peer Counselor of the Year.” This award is given to the teen volunteer that most exemplifies Teen Lifeline’s mission and shows the most commitment to the organization. Chase Wainwright was the recipient of the award. Now a freshman at the University of Arizona, Wainwright volunteered more than 1,400 hours over the last two years with Teen Lifeline (13 hours a week for two years). “I feel very honored to have received this award, but to tell the truth, I feel like I got more from Teen Lifeline than I gave. It was just as much of a resource and

safe place for me as for the teens who call in,” Wainwright said.

Also unique to this year’s event and in alignment with our theme, all entertainment was performed by youth. Justice Odem performed a song written specially for the evening. The Dylan Gardner Band closed the night down with renditions of Buddy Holly and Elton John. Finally, the night included speeches from three dedicated teen volunteers. The gala raised over $330,000 with 330 people in attendance. All money raised will go towards Teen Lifeline’s mission of preventing teen suicide. This was our most successful event yet!

The annual gala took place on October 6, 2012 at the Montelucia Resort. It was co-chaired by local business owners and community advocates Renee Dee and Jennifer Collins. Without their hard work, this evening of great music, exciting bidding and inspiring conversation would not have been possible. These funds will allow us to reach

more teens with our life-saving services in 2013!

Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week This year marked Teen Lifeline’s 12th Annual Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week. Partnering with six other organizations including Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Crisis Response Network, Empact SPC, Tumbleweed, 1n10, and Banner Health, Teen Lifeline received the Governor’s Proclamation for “Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week. During the week of September 4-10, staff and volunteers visited 10 schools throughout the valley. At each fair, we offered information on symptoms, risk factors and tips on what to do if a if a student thinks someone is or if they themselves are thinking about suicide. For some, it could be just the reassurance they need to call in.

The week was rounded off by two community based rallies at Tempe Marketplace and Desert Ridge Marketplace. It was not all business at the rallies, with raffles, prizes and live music from local talent. Singer/songwriter Adam Smith headlined Friday’s rally at Desert Ridge for the second year in a row and Saturday’s rally was headlined by up-and-coming country girl group, Arrowheart. Both evenings featured performances by Jimmy Leg, Justice Odem, and Ruby City Unplugged. During the rally, one teen shared, “I got this card last year when you were here and I have used it a few times. You really helped me when I didn’t know what to do.” Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week reached a total of 4,700 youth across the valley.

Now a freshman at the University of Arizona, Wainwright volunteered more than 1,400 hours over the last two years with Teen Lifeline (13 hours a week for two years). “I feel very honored to have received this award, but to tell the truth, I feel like I got more from Teen Lifeline than I gave. It was just as much of a resource and

safe place for me as for the teens who call in,” Wainwright said.

Also unique to this year’s event and in alignment with our theme, all entertainment was performed by youth. Justice Odem performed a song written specially for the evening. The Dylan Gardner Band closed the night down with renditions of Buddy Holly and Elton John. Finally, the night included speeches from three dedicated teen volunteers. The gala raised over $330,000 with 330 people in attendance. All money raised will go towards Teen Lifeline’s mission of preventing teen suicide. This was our most successful event yet!

The annual gala took place on October 6, 2012 at the Montelucia Resort. It was co-chaired by local business owners and community advocates Renee Dee and Jennifer Collins. Without their hard work, this evening of great music, exciting bidding and inspiring conversation would not have been possible. These funds will allow us to reach

more teens with our life-saving services in 2013!

Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week This year marked Teen Lifeline’s 12th Annual Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week. Partnering with six other organizations including Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Crisis Response Network, Empact SPC, Tumbleweed, 1n10, and Banner Health, Teen Lifeline received the Governor’s Proclamation for “Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week. During the week of September 4-10, staff and volunteers visited 10 schools throughout the valley. At each fair, we offered information on symptoms, risk factors and tips on what to do if a if a student thinks someone is or if they themselves are thinking about suicide. For some, it could be just the reassurance they need to call in.

The week was rounded off by two community based rallies at Tempe Marketplace and Desert Ridge Marketplace. It was not all business at the rallies, with raffles, prizes and live music from local talent. Singer/songwriter Adam Smith headlined Friday’s rally at Desert Ridge for the second year in a row and Saturday’s rally was headlined by up-and-coming country girl group, Arrowheart. Both evenings featured performances by Jimmy Leg, Justice Odem, and Ruby City Unplugged. During the rally, one teen shared, “I got this card last year when you were here and I have used it a few times. You really helped me when I didn’t know what to do.” Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Week reached a total of 4,700 youth across the valley.

A Message from Our Executive Director:2012 is Our Most Successful Year!

I recently attended a daylong seminar entitled “Great by Choice” which examined what made great leadership and subsequently, great businesses. I began to think about how businesses measure success. More to the point, how do you know if you have been successful if you are a nonprofit organization? This past year we have really focused as an organization on changing our thought process from viewing Teen Lifeline as a nonprofit, and shift to thinking simply we are about the impact we are having on our community. It is no longer about what we are and what we are not. We are an organization dedicated to ending teen suicide by empowering youth to make healthy choices thus saving lives

of teens in Arizona! This is why we exist.

When you begin to look at your organization in this way it really changes what success means. It is no longer about the money raised, even though 2012 was the best fundraising year in our history. Success isn’t just the bottom line, even though we did exceed our budget goals last year too. It becomes less about the how and what we do as a business, like the fact that we hired 2 new staff members and added a new program. The measure of success is the lives we are changing and the impact we are having on the youth we serve.

So as you read this year’s annual report, pay close attention to the highlights about the lives we have touched and how we are making a difference for youth in Arizona. You will read information on budget numbers, fundraising, events and more. But as I remember last year, it was lives changed that left me inspired.

I know that we are making a choice to do great things by focusing on our mission and vision. To be in business we have to hit those budget numbers and raise funds for our programs, but at the end of the day, what really counts are the lives we are changing. And using this measure of success, I can honestly say that 2012 has been our most successful year thus far!!!Sincerely,Michelle Moorhead, MA, LPCExecutive Director

“I’ve only been a part of the Teen Lifeline family since January, but if you met me before that day I stepped into training and before the day I took my first suicide call, you wouldn’t recognize me. I now have faith in myself and faith in the callers I speak to.” - Jason, Peer Counselor
