The Fight Against Suicide

TFAS #16: Charlottesville, Virginia | Ting Pavilion

The Fight Against Suicide is bringing its powerful, community-centered mission to Charlottesville with UVA Fight TFAS #16 on Thursday, April 16, at Ting Pavilion.

This first-ever TFAS event in Charlottesville is designed to unite students, alumni, and the broader community around a shared purpose: suicide prevention. Our goal is to create an energizing night that goes far beyond the ring. Through an unforgettable combination of live boxing, storytelling, and meaningful connection, the event invites attendees into something deeper than entertainment. It is a movement toward awareness, support, and real change.

Led by passionate student volunteers, TFAS events are built on the belief that mental health is something we actively train, strengthen, and support together. The evening will feature not only fights, but also moments that create space for both energy and reflection. By blending fitness, education, and community activation, UVA Fight TFAS #16 is helping shift the conversation from mental illness to mental fitness—fostering a culture where people feel seen, supported, and equipped.

Together, Charlottesville is not just raising awareness. It is choosing connection, action, and lasting impact.
