The 495 Challenge
An estimated 22 veterans take their lives each day according to a report issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs - We're asking Long Islanders to go the distance in recognition of this startling statistic. As I-495 stretches the length of Long Island, we challenge 495 Long Islanders to give $22 to provide critical assistance to those in need. Help drive us closer to our goal!
