About Stu22Crew

The STU22crew foundation was created in 2010 to promote awareness for the prevention of teenage suicide, the second leading cause of death among children, adolescents and young adults aged 10-24.

“STU22crew” is named in honor of Stuart Eiken and his perpetual uniform #22. “Crew” defines a supporting group for this important cause and derives from his Rock Bridge Bruins’ pep squad – “Bru-crew.”
