The Office of Veterans Affairs, Veteran's Club & Cal U Army R.O.T.C. invite our campus and local community to join us in raising awareness of suicide among our Military & Veterans.

Each day, 22 Veterans die by suicide, according to the 2012 VA suicide data report. To raise awareness and assist with suicide prevention, the Office of Veterans Affairs, Veteran's Club & Cal U Army R.O.T.C. will meet on the Quad at 11:22 a.m. weekdays from January 22 through February 20, and perform 22 pushups each.

Each time a participant completes 22 pushups, he or she will be registered for a drawing. Donations for the drawing are made possible by members of the Cal U Veteran's Club and Veteran's Club Advisor.

The event is open to the entire campus community, as well as the general public. In particular, student Veterans, military Service members and their dependents are encouraged to attend.
