Iditarod Outreach 2024 Funding: $40,000

March 25-30, Carry the Cure will present it’s 15th annual Iditarod Outreach.

The 2024 outreach will take the CTC team to some of the coldest, darkest and most isolated villages I Alaska.  The villages may be cold, but the hearts of the people in these regions are some of the warmest anywhere in the world.  CTC will be invited to villages that are by tribal administration invitation only.

This year, we will visit the villages of
Tununak, Toksook Bay, Nightmute, and Kasigluk.

There has never been a better time than now to share GOOD NEWS! There has never been a better time than now to share our Committed to Life program in village Alaska and prevent suicide. Keep updated and follow the Bill Pagaran and Carry the Cure Facebook pages for ministry and fundraising updates. Please help us to continue this vital outreach that saves lives!

Every Village by 2025:

Carry the Cure plans to vist every village in Alaska with its "Committed to Life" suicide prevention program by the year 2025. So far, we've visited about a third of the villages in Alaska. In the villages we have visited, there has been a zero occurance of suicides among the students that have participated in our program. Please help by praying, giving and going. Your partnership can make all the difference.

Each outreach costs between $3,000 and $35,000 depending on the size of team, the length of the trip and the distance from our home base in Palmer, AK.

Boarding School Visits:

Carry the Cure plans to vist the three boarding schools in Alaska once a year. The three boarding school are located in Sitka, Galena and Nenana.

Carry the Cure also plans to visit Mt. Edgecumbe, Hoonah and Southeast Alaska sometime before the end of the 2019 school year. Total cost of this project for our 7 member team that includes Broken Walls will be $7,500.
