Veterans Appreciation Run

Honor Our Veterans — Join Us This November!

This year, we are proud to partner with The Kaufman Fund, a nonprofit organization that has been serving veterans and their families across the St. Louis region for over 30 years. The Kaufman Fund provides critical support in areas such as mental health services, housing assistance, food programs, dental care, and educational resources — working tirelessly to ensure that no veteran is left behind. By joining the Veterans Appreciation Run, you are helping further this mission and making a direct impact on the lives of local veterans.
