Informazioni sull'evento

We invite you and your family to join us on November 9th, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. for a 5K Beach Race/ 1 Mile Walk to celebrate Veterans Day!! This race supports our veterans by raising awareness of suicide prevention and working towards ending it once and for all!

                           22 Veterans commit suicide a day!!!  

This double-digit number has shaped how Americans think about military veterans and their daily struggles. This staggering number has become a cry for advocates trying to call attention to suicide among veterans, especially U.S. combat-injured veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Many injured U.S. combat-injured veterans struggle with physical disabilities, including loss of limbs and mental health issues such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Fairways for Freedom® provides the opportunity for reintegration back into society through many holistic initiatives, including the game of golf.

 

This November 9th, Fairways for Freedom® is partnering with SSI VFW Post 4092 to host the Veterans Day 5K Beach Race/1 Mile Walk. Funds raised from this event will provide LOCAL U.S. combat-injured veterans the opportunity to heal.
