Description
The Veterans Business Network (VBN) of the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC) has partnered with the VFW Post 2475 to organize a Stop 22 Walk on October 14, 2021.
Stop 22 is a partnership initiative between the Department of NY Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and one of the nation’s leading health and well-being companies HUMANA to increase awareness of Veterans committing suicide - 22 Veterans are lost each day.
The number of veteran suicides continue to rise world-wide. In company with HUMANA, State Commander Michael Hoag is partnering with this well-known veteran supporter to reinvigorate the Department of NY Veterans of Foreign Wars STOP 22 Initiative first organized in 2018.
The 22-minute walk is scheduled for Thursday, October 14, 2021, at 4:00 pm, beginning at the City Park Gazebo in downtown Glens Falls, NY.
***Participants are asked to contribute a minimum $1.00 donation per person at the time of event (cash or check only, please).***
***This event is rain or shine!***
***All proceeds will benefit the Commander's Homeless Veterans Special Project in support of Homeless Veterans to assist in PTSD\Suicide Prevention and Awareness.***
After brief greeting remarks, participants will walk a circuit around Downtown Glens Falls for 22 minutes in remembrance of those lost and to raise awareness of the need for prevention.
