About
Last Year
💜 In York, a movement of hope is rising. 💜
Building Bridges for Brianna began with a promise.
On December 3, 2020, Brianna Dorgan, just 15 years old, lost her battle with suicide. In the midst of unimaginable grief, her father, Matt Dorgan, made a commitment that no other family should have to face that kind of darkness alone.
From that promise, Building Bridges for Brianna was born.
What started in heartbreak has grown into a powerful mission of hope, healing, and action.
Every day, we meet people who are silently fighting battles, suicidal thoughts, crushing anxiety, depression, trauma, and overwhelming life circumstances. Many feel alone. Many feel like there is no way forward.
And every day we remind them of something powerful:
It’s okay to not be okay.
But you don’t have to stay that way.
We are building a community where asking for help is met with compassion instead of judgment.
Where families in crisis find guidance and support.
Where financial barriers never stand between someone and the care that could save their life.
Because of supporters like you, we are able to:
💜 Provide free and reduced-cost mental health counseling sessions
💜 Help cover therapy co-pays so finances never prevent someone from getting help
💜 Deliver suicide prevention education and awareness programs across York County and beyond
💜 Support families navigating mental health crises
💜 Fund life-saving programs that educate, empower, and connect people to help
And the need continues to grow.
The truth is simple: none of this happens without a community that believes in this mission.
Every donation allows us to:
• Answer another call for help
• Fund another therapy session
• Train another person to recognize the warning signs
• Reach someone who may be struggling in silence
When you give, you are doing more than making a donation.
You are building a bridge for someone who cannot see a way forward.
Together, we are building bridges—
one life, one family, one conversation at a time.
If you believe in hope…
If you believe mental health matters…
If you believe every life is worth fighting for…
💜 Please consider making a donation today.
Because somewhere right now, someone is standing at the edge of despair-
and they need that bridge.

Giving Activity
Mission
At Building Bridges for Brianna, our purpose is simple and urgent: to save more lives.
We promote suicide awareness and prevention, fund life-saving programs, support individuals facing mental health challenges, and provide guidance for families navigating difficult seasons. We are expanding our reach by training more community members in QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), equipping everyday people with the tools to recognize the warning signs of suicide and step in when it matters most.
Most importantly, we hold no judgment when it comes to providing help. If you need help, we provide that help. Period. No shame. No stigma. Just compassion, understanding, and action.
Every donation allows us to reach more individuals, support more families, and train more community members to be part of the solution.
Together, we are building bridges, and saving more lives. 💜
