Hike for veteran mental health awareness.
September is Suicide Prevention Month! The purpose of this ruck march is to raise awareness about veteran mental health and suicide. Current statistics show that 17 veterans die by suicide every day. To symbolize this, we are asking participants to hike 1.7 miles.
This year we are partnering with GRIT's Veteran & Senior Resources. Several support services for veterans will be attending the event.
Entrance fees will be waived for participants. Registration will begin at 9:00 AM at the CCC building. Water and light refreshments will be provided.
