May 1 FIT FUND SUP US Vet Hall of Fame Operation New Dawn: Welcome Home

  • Charlotte, NC United States (map)

On May 1, 2021, The US Veterans Hall of Fame, and it’s community partners will be doing their 3rd annual mental health awareness walk entitled “Operation New Dawn: Welcome Home”. This 22-kilometer ruck walk will be used to raise awareness and funds for the express purpose of supporting our veterans: many of which are dealing with mental health situations after their military service, and other day to day essential needs. The 22-kilometers are in memory of the 22 veterans lost to suicide daily in America… a number that we are determined and destined to decrease and end. Any amount that you choose to donate towards this worthy cause will be greatly appreciated! We are also seeking mile supporters who will sponsor the walk at the below levels: - $0.25 per kilometer which equals a total $5.50 donation - $0.50 per kilometer which equals a total $11.00 donation - $1.00 per kilometer which equals a total $22.00 donation - $2.00 per kilometer which equals a total $44.00 donation We are asking those in the general public, that are interested in doing a portion of this walk with us, to please do so virtually: as we need to keep everyone safe due to COVID-19 protocol this year (so we cannot gather as we normally do). Whether you do one mile or more than one, please share your pictures and videos with us so that we can see your awesome participation and smiles as you join us in this mission!
