22 Strong Walk

Six Year History:

Since our inaugural event in 2019, we have expanded our list of beneficiaries, welcomed hundreds of walkers, and raised over $400,000. In 2024, we hosted our sixth annual 22 Strong Walk, which included a 22-day virtual challenge in the spring and 22-mile & 2.2-mile walks in the fall. We were overwhelmed by the support from our corporate sponsors, donors, participants, and volunteers. We exceeded our participant goal (welcoming nearly 100 more walkers than our goal!) and donated over $80,000 to our six beneficiaries. We are fortunate to continue to provide resources for organizations that directly impact veterans and look forward to our seventh year of 22 Strong in 2025.

Building Change’s 7th Annual 22 Strong Walk will take place on September 6th, 2025. The goal of this event its to raise awareness and funds for organizations dedicated to eliminating veteran suicide.

The 22 Strong Walk is an event that honors and supports 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.
