Thank you for joining us at this year's Semper Fi 5K! With over $340,000 raised since 2008 for the Semper Fi Fund, each of you have made a difference in the lives of our wounded warriors!

BENEFITING THE SEMPER FI FUND

100% of the proceeds benefit the Semper Fi Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to post 9/11 wounded, critically ill and injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families, ensuring that they have the resources they need during their recovery and transition back to their communities. 94 cents of every dollar that the Semper Fi Fund receives goes directly to our wounded warriors.

RAISED: $41,387

Thank you for your generosity!

Over $340,000 raised since 2008.

We just want to take a moment to acknowledge our incredible race director, Zach Burstein. Without his many years of dedicating countless hours over the past 8 years, raising more than $340,000 for the Semper Fi Fund would not be possible. During the concluding ceremonies, another amazing person, and founder of the @semperfifund Helen Toolan presented Zach a special award for his hard work and dedication. We thank you both for your vision, passion and dedication. To put together a race which has seen continued growth year after year takes an enormous amount of time, dedication and energy. We are deeply grateful for your hard work and dedication and also of the selfless volunteers who come out to help make this possible. THANK YOU just doesn't seem enough!! #ThankYou #Zach #HelenToolan #SemperFi5k17 #SemperFiFund #8Yearsandcounting #WoundedWarriors #Veterans #Greatful #Inspire #Believe #Dedication #Volunteers
