This event is rooted in resilience, overall well-being and the belief that becoming better than yesterday is worth the effort. All proceeds from the BETTER THAN YESTERDAY 5K will be donated to A CALL TO SHOULDERS [https://www.acalltoshoulders.com/], a local, veteran-focused nonprofit that helps former service members build purpose and skills through hands-on craftsmanship training and workshop programs.
