ALCON (that’s the Military’s way of addressing “all concerned”),

Now that the dust has settled a bit, I wanted to reach out to you with an update. The 3rd annual Ruck ‘N’ Run was a huge success! I want to thank everyone involved!

Because of our outstanding Participants, Volunteers, and Sponsors, Ruck ‘N’ Run raised:

$4,000 for Combat Boots & High Heels!
1,282lbs of food for Home at Last!

That’s something to be very proud of, but that’s not all! That brings the overall total to $10,500 and 4,459lbs of food donated to Veteran organizations! Together, we continue to make a huge impact on our community, all while honoring Veterans!

Speaking of numbers, here’s the breakdown:

231 Local Registrants! (That’s 589, counting all 3 years! Most have competed each year!)
14 Virtual Registrants that did the event in OK, KS, IA, MD, SC, and even two Service Members competed while deployed overseas!
