Peabody Energy’s North Antelope Rochelle Mine in southern Campbell County is helping raise suicide awareness. The Gillette News Record reports the company painted one of their bulldozers purple and teal - the colors that have become associated with the cause. They also added a QR code for the Campbell County Prevention Council’s website, the suicide hotline, 988, and teal and purple semicolons, which have become a symbol for mental health awareness.

In September, which is National Suicide Prevention Month, Peabody will donate to local organizations for all of the cubic yards of dirt that the dozer moves.
