2025 Jeeps4Vets Remember the 22 A Day in May Jeep Run

Join us on Sunday, May 18, 2025 for the Jeep event of the season, the annual Jeeps4Vets Remember the 22 A Day in May Jeep Run to benefit Veterans Path to Hope!   

Remember the 22 a Day in May brings awareness to our community of the number of veterans that commit suicide each day during Military Appreciation Month in May. With the efforts of events like this and supporters like you, as a nation, we have brought that number down from 22 to about 17. It is our mission to never see 22 again and to continue raising awareness and providing support until that number is zero!   

Get the hose out and shine your Jeep up for a gorgeous drive! 

10am . . . Registration begins at Liberty Automotive CDJR on Route 176 in Libertyville, IL. 

Veterans Path to Hope will be at the registration table - check in if you pre-registered for $20, or register onsite the morning of the event for $25 (per Jeep). Get your wristband, buy some raffle tickets (5 for $20) and 50/50 tickets ($5 each or 5 for $20 - cash only), then browse the raffle table and visit with fellow Jeep enthusiasts and vendor!

11:30am . . . Depart for Grayslake, IL. We will park throughout the downtown area, and be there until 4pm

VPH will be there to accept your non-perishable food item to help stock our year-round food pantries in Grayslake and Crystal Lake to help ensure none of our brave veterans experience food insecurity. The VPH list of recommended items can be found here: https://veteranspathtohope.org/donation-list/

Once you drop off your donations, all are welcome to browse the unique shops, eat delicious food from local restaurants, see the coolest customized Jeeps and talk to the owners, and bring the kids for activities including face painting, scavenger hunt, and power wheels races. 

Both Jeeps4Vets and VPH will have their new apparel designs available for sale - buying one will help let veterans know our services and our support are available every time you wear it.
