Community Sponsorship Information/Form
Due Sept. 1, 2025

Dear Community Leader,

September is suicide prevention awareness month.  We are excited to work with you on addressing an important issue impacting veterans who served in the Armed Forces - veteran suicide. In remembrance of veterans who lost their lives suicide, we want to take action to prevent veteran suicide, support families who have experienced family loss due to suicide, and raise general awareness in our communities. To that end, we are hosting an annual 2.2 for 22 Challenge for Veterans at the Las Positas College campus.  Recent studies show that 22 veterans succumb to suicide day. Our goal is 22 to Zero! Your support will help us in bringing this number down to zero.

The Veterans First Program works with veterans daily in pursuit of their college education.  We coordinate this amazing  annual community event at Las Positas College to raise awareness toward the prevention of veteran suicide, and raise funds for scholarships and mental health programs for veterans.  Funds raised were also used toward hosting events that build camaraderie with student veterans at Las Positas College that give them a sense of belonging and community support.  We also offered alternative methods for releasing stress and anxiety for veterans, such as “Drumming for Veterans.”   

Become one of our champions for the event.  Join us in being a sponsor and supporting veterans on September 28th at Las Positas College.  Sponsorship funds will defray operational costs, such as medals, t-shirts, facilities staff costs, etc.   Lastly, if you need a tax deductible receipt for your sponsorship gift, we have partnered with the LPC Foundation to provide that receipt.  

Sincerely,

Evelyn Andrews (eandrews@laspositascollege.edu)
