The Stonebridge Fall Fest Donates Proceeds to Serve Our Willing Warriors

 

It was a glorious day to run and walk for our Willing Warriors! 

Many, many thanks to Karen Joyner - Director of the The Stonebridge Fall Fest for hosting the 5K Run/Walk and donating all the proceeds to Serve Our Willing Warriors.  It was such an amazing gift to see so many people show up on behalf of our wounded, injured and ill warriors + families.

We were deeply moved by the spirit of the day!  In the week before the event less than 30 people had signed up to race.  But on the day of the race, we had almost 80 runners + walkers.  Approximately 30 people signed up on that day!  It was so exciting to see them show up!  Here are a few photos from the day . . .

The day was a Family Affair!  Just what we love to see!  Participants of all ages . . .

It was quite touching to see the local Potomac High ROTC Color Guard post the color and lead the group into the Pledge of Alligiance. The applause at the end demonstrated the great sense of patriotism and pride felt throughout the crowd.  

It was clear that everyone came out with a willing heart to serve those who have served us so well:

Our Heroes – Our Willing Warriors + Families. 

Thanks to all who came out in support of SOWW and this wonderful festival!

Can we do this again next year???
