Each day, 20-22 U.S. Military veterans commit suicide. The Skate for the 22 Foundation provides veterans an outlet while bringing public awareness to the issue through hockey.
The Skate for the 22 was formed to reduce the tragically high number of veteran suicides by providing no cost skills development sessions and get veterans back into a supportive, team environment.
Sonia Rollins & Associates and DaMore Law invite everyone for a night of Cinco De Mayo fun at the Archer Hotel in Burlington to raise money in support of the Skate for the 22 Foundation.
“We first heard about Skate for the 22 Foundation a few years back when they joined the Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce,” said Rollins. “The BACC learned about the great work they do for the men and women who served our country,” Rollins continued. “The statistic of 22 veterans taking their life every day is one that none of us should take lightly. The Foundation is working hard to bring veterans back into a team environment and show them that we see them and they matter.”
