This year we are sharing the proceeds from the 2024 Running To Honor 5K with the Taylor Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4422. The Taylor VFW fosters camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts, serves our veterans, the military and our communities and advocates on behalf of all veterans.
Thanks to our generous supporters and donors, over the past 6 years Running To Honor has been able to make a difference in the community in the following ways:
- Contributed the majority of the funds needed to purchase and install a 40 kilowatt solar panel system (132 solar panels) at the Wyandotte VFW Post 1136 reducing their electricty bill from $2,000 a month to around $200 a month.
- Contributed funds to the Taylor VFW Post 4422 which helped with projects as well as keeping their doors open for their members.
- Paid for a portion of the Specialist Holly McGeogh Memorial Highway signs on I-75 in Taylor, Michigan
- Fully paid for the Sergeant Craig Frank Memorial Highway signs on Fort Street in Lincoln Park
- Donated funds to Taylor's Saluting Sailor John Heidenreich for his annual 9/11 Memorial display
