Building Change is hosting the 4th annual 22 Strong event series to honor and support United States Military Veterans. The number 22 is significant to our event because it represents the 22 veterans who lose their lives to suicide every day. Our goal is to support our community of veterans and bring awareness to the charities we support. This year, we invite you to participate in a 22-Day Virtual Challenge, a 22-Mile In-Person Walk, and/or a 2.2-Mile In-Person Walk. Please join us by signing up for whatever event(s) suit you best! Funds raised will support continued (and new!) beneficiaries including FOCUS Marines Foundation, The St. Charles Veterans Museum, Gateway Blue Star Mothers, Got Your Six PTSD Support Dogs, Joshua Chamberlain Society, and RE-Emerge.

This is a 22 Day Challenge to represent the 22 veterans who commit suicide each day. We are challenging you to walk or run each day tracking your miles, then report your miles to our website. During the course of the 22-day event we will highlight some special veterans and our charities that we will be donating to on our 22 Strong Facebook page. We hope that over the 22 days we will be able to show our veterans that they have a community here to support them, bring awareness to some of our great charities and also that maybe you yourself has started a new habit of daily activity. It's a win for everyone! We will have weekly raffle prizes and a Grand prize at the end of the 22 days.Activity Starts: 9/3/2022 06:00 - Activity Ends: 9/24/2022 23:59Registration opens : 4/10/2022 01:00Activity type: Virtual raceRequires Date of BirthRequires phone numberGiveaway(s): Short Sleeve Dri-Fit Shirt -
