Event Description

I cordially invite you to participate in our 7th Annual Warrior 5K Run.  Since the race started back in 2014, we have raised approximately $35,706.30 which has been used to help local & out of state veterans of the United States Armed Forces.  This race prides itself in the fact that 100% of the proceeds after costs of hosting the event itself, are donated back to the community.  This past June’s race raised $13,307, and we donated $8k the day of the race.  Overall donations thus far are as follows:

$4000 to the SGT Donald Oaks Jr Memorial Scholarship Fund.

$3000 to Embracing our Veterans for their Homeless Veteran Program.

$1500 for fifteen Gift Certificates for Therapeutic Massages for local veterans who often time suffer from pain due to their military service.

$1,000 to the Treiber Family for help with medical bills for their daughter's illness.

$1000 to Warriors to Washington to help cover costs of their annual trip to DC for post 9/11 Veterans.

$500 to the All Secure Foundation which helps Veterans of the Special Operations Community get the help and treatment they need with Post Traumatic Stress and helps battle veteran suicide.

$500 to Forward Assist that allowed some disabled combat veterans the chance to see Disturbed and In This Moment in concert.

$500 to the national chapter of the Warrior Brotherhood Veterans Motorcycle Club to aid veterans in need.
