5TH Annual
22 Days of Light the Fire: Fire Watch Shifts
DATE: May 3rd - May 24th
TIME: 12:00AM - 12:00PM
LOCATION: Firepit next to event barn
We lose 22 veterans and active duty military to suicide every day; one every 65 minutes. We lose more first responders each year to suicide than in the line of duty. To say this is an epidemic is an understatement.
Every year we back up 22 days from our Memorial Day celebration and light a fire. We keep this fire lit and manned, 24/7, for 22 days in recognition of 22 a day we lose to suicide.
You are not alone—and together, we can spark real change.
Join us in standing watch and raising awareness for a cause that matters deeply. Whether you come with family, friends, or co-workers, every shift keeps the fire burning and the conversation going. Click below to sign up for a Fire Watch shift and be part of a movement that refuses to let this unacceptable statistic go unnoticed.
