The funds were raised during the 9th Annual Veteran’s 5K Race that was held Veteran’s Day 2023 in Marietta. Thank you to all of our generous and patriotic sponsors and all that attended and supported the Veteran's Day 5K Race. A delicious Bar-B-Q Dinner was provided at the event by our friends at Oak St. Health.
