Thank you to all of our participants, volunteers, and sponsors!  Over $54,000 raised (and counting) for the Semper Fi Fund!

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.

Happy National Donut Day! According to the Salvation Army, “National Donut Day” was created in 1938 and dates back to 1917 — amid World War I, during which the Salvation Army’s Donut Lassies served the baked goods to soldiers on the front lines. Lt. Col. Ward Matthews, a spokesperson for the Salvation Army, explains:“Armed with their faith and little more than a helmet, rolling pins and donut supplies, the Donut Lassies provided the soldiers a piece of home in the trenches of eastern France. The donut was and continues to be a symbol of the comfort and support that The Salvation Army provides to more than 23 million people in need each year.” #SemperFi5k18 #NationalDonutDay #SalvationArmy #DonutLassie
