More Details
-----
All proceeds and donations raised through this race, the 5th Annual 5K & 10K, will go directly towards the Gary Sinise Foundation’s Snowball Express program to support children of our fallen military heroes in attendance.
The Gary Sinise Foundation serves our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. We do this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educated, inspire, strengthen, and build communities. A proud program of the Foundation, Snowball Express supports the children of our fallen military heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice since September 11, 2001, as well as promotes their future success through opportunities for joy, friendship, education, and communal healing, by connecting these families with one another.
This December the Gary Sinise Foundation will bring together nearly 1,800 children and surviving parents. These families will bond with spouses and children who have suffered a similar loss and experience the realization that they are not alone in their grief and sorrow. Our team along with thousands of dedicated volunteers will honor the memory of each fallen hero, and show these families the love and gratitude of a grateful nation. This event provides us an opportunity to show our appreciation and remind these children and families that they are loved and not forgotten.
With the support of our official Airline partner, and Presenting Sponsor of this event, American Airlines, we are able to bring these families together from across the nation. While we have tremendous in-kind support from American Airlines, there is still work to be done in order to host this 5-day event. Please join us in showing our gratitude to these deserving families. Together, we will assure these children are able to attend this life changing experience.
Thank you for your support!
