On January 10th of this year, Tanya Green's life was changed.

"It's unbelievably horrific.. every single moment," she said.

It's the day she lost her daughter, Gabriella Green.

"Losing Gabbie is the most horrific thing we've ever had to deal with in our life and what anybody would ever go through is losing a child," Tanya said.

To keep Gabbie's legacy alive and to help others, Tanya created the Gabriella Peyton Green Foundation for Bullied Children, which hosts events to raise money for education and suicide prevention.

"To make a change, you have to be the change. So, what we want to do here and what we want to do eventually all across America, all across the world, is to have events like this, of course later on at a bigger scale, to raise awareness and to teach kids that even though you're on a dark path right now, there is light at the end of the tunnel," Event Coordinator Jonathan Ouaknine said.

Sunday, the foundation hosted a Celebration of Life at Laketown Wharf in Panama City Beach where those who attended enjoyed food, giveaways, and a raffle to raise money that in turn helps other children in need by paying for counseling, travel expenses, and scholarships.

"When you see a lot of people working together, putting their heads together for a good cause, good things happen. So all the proceeds from the raffle, the proceeds from this event, donations, whatever it may be, all of them will go to the Gabbie Green Foundation directly. 100 percent," Ouaknine said.

Tanya says the overall goal is to spread the foundation's message of hope and to one day put an end to child suicide.

"We're here, we want to listen, we want to help you and if you're scared to tell someone, you know, if you have no one to go to, we're here for you and we will help you through anything."
