Description
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).***
***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.
