The Run to Remember 5k--brought to the Troy community by the Jack Newkirk Squadron of Arnold Air Society--is a family friendly, community wide event aimed at supporting local veterans, as well as current college students. All are welcome to enjoy this event. There is a student discount of $15 once you begin registration.

This year, we are proud to be partnering with Mission 22, a non-profit organization dedicated to offering free mental health, wellness, and community support programs for veterans and their families. Their programs are designed to provide immediate help, eliminating the wait that veterans often face. They are also partnered with fifteen other organizations to help veteran families with finances, mental health, and rehabilitation.

Mission 22 was named after a statistic from a 2013 study conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs: an estimated twenty-two veterans die by suicide each day. Mission 22's goal is to combat this statistic by providing support and resources and raising awareness. Their website can be found at this link [https://mission22.org/].
