 ​Since our inaugural run in 2016, the Honoring our Heroes Marathon event has raised nearly $80,000 for local veteran’s causes across Missouri’s Dent, Phelps, and Pulaski counties, including:

• AUSA’s WARRIOR IN NEED FUND: The Warrior in Need fund of the Mid-Missouri chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) is an charity which supports the Army’s mission. The fund assists a Fort Leonard Wood soldier in time of crisis.

• DENT COUNTY VETERAN’S EMERGENCY FUND: This fund managed by the American Legion Post 99 in Salem is available for a local veteran in time of need, such as housing, transportation, or utility bills.

• VFW VETERAN ASSISTANCE (AKA, POPPY FUND): These funds in Dent, Phelps and Pulaski counties are managed by local VFW posts are maintained for veterans who need assistance; such as emergency lodging, food, disability ramps, and a myriad of other needs.

• We’ve also donated to the Woody Williams Foundation, honoring Gold Star Families; Missouri Patriot Paws of Rolla, joins a therapy dog to a deserving soldier; the American Volunteers, to help veterans needing home repairs; the Army Emergency Relief (AER) fund of Fort Leonard Wood; Veterans Memorial Park in Rolla, and more.

The funds raised from the 2021 event will be donated to:
Our local Disabled Americans Veterans (DAV) chapter which provides transportation for veterans in our area to the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans’ Hospital (VA) in Columbia, MO for medical care; as well as the Warrior in Need fund; the VFW Veteran Relief funds across Dent, Phelps, Pulaski counties; the Legion Auxiliary for entertainment at the St. James Veteran’s Home; the Fort Leonard Wood AER fund; the Dent County Veteran’s Emergency Fund; and we will make a donation to the South Central Regional Veteran’s Group to help finish the Veterans Memorial Park in Rolla (which flanks part of our 10K course).
