SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) The annual “Long Live MC” golf tournament was held over the weekend in Sioux Falls at the Elmwood Golf Course. This event is to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. Long Live MC is a nonprofit formed in honor of Manny Christopher, a standout football player for Sioux Falls Roosevelt High School and Dakota Wesleyan University who took his own life.
More than 200 golfers participated in the event. The suicide prevention hotline in South Dakota is 988. Because the suicide hotline number is 988 is the reason why telephone calls to individuals now require the use of the area code first, in order to make even a local phone call.
