3rd Annual Airbourne 5k Run and Walk
Proceeds from this event will be donated to VetsBuild, a United Way Long Island nonprofit organization , whose goal is simple – help our post 9/11 Veterans with Training and Job Placement in new careers. It provides programs at no cost to veterans and also supports Airborne Tri Team – a unique Triathlon-Team formed by active duty service members and wounded veterans.
Over 47000 servicemen and women have been injured in the recent military conflicts. In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment. In a 24hr-period an average of 22 war veterans take their lives. VetsBuild is uniquely structured to encourage economic empowerment, engagement and a brighter future for any veteran attending the program.
Your donation will not only help to rebuild Long Island and its veterans but also bring Airborne Tri Team one step closer to completing their first ironman in 2016
