SAVE 22: Suicide Awareness & Prevention

SAVE 22: Suicide Awareness & Prevention Event

Every day, an average of 22 veterans die by suicide. That’s 22 too many.

On Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Rotary Club of Spring Township Centennial, Veterans Making A Difference, and the Veterans Coalition of Pennsylvania (VCOP) invite the community to come together for SAVE 22: Suicide Awareness & Prevention, a powerful event dedicated to honoring lives lost and building hope for the future.

Event Details

  • Date: Sunday, September 28, 2025
  • Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
  • Location: Corner of Broadcasting Rd. & Paper Mill Rd., Wyomissing, PA


A Moving Afternoon of Remembrance & Awareness

The event will include:

  • Opening Remarks & Refreshments
  • Berks County Youth Choir singing the National Anthem
  • 660 Flag Planting Ceremony — each flag represents a veteran lost to suicide in a single month.

This striking display is not only a memorial but a reminder of the urgent need for awareness, connection, and action.


Why This Event Matters

Veteran suicide is often hidden behind silence and stigma. SAVE 22 aims to break that silence, provide education, and connect veterans with the resources and community they need to feel supported.

This event will focus on:

  • Learning the signs of suicide risk
  • Listening without judgment
  • Connecting with resources
  • Creating a safe space where no veteran feels alone


How You Can Help

Your presence matters. Whether you are a veteran, a family member, a supporter, or simply someone who cares, attending SAVE 22 shows our community’s commitment to standing with those who have served.

Together, we can:

  • Raise awareness about veteran suicide
  • Start important conversations
  • Save lives through compassion and connection
