Join us for the inspiring "Carry for the Kids 2025" event on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in the heart of Abilene, Taylor. This unique gathering invites participants to ruck—a powerful way to honor the everyday burdens that students face, from challenges with poverty and anxiety to family struggles.

Be a part of this meaningful journey and help ensure that no student has to carry their burdens alone. Whether you're an experienced rucker or new to the challenge, your participation will make a difference in the lives of many. Come stand with students and make an impact!
