Organiser's description
On Saturday, September 30th, 2023 The Wingman Foundation will hold its 2023 Pensacola Memorial 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run.
This memorial run will be in honor and remembrance of our brave fallen Naval and Marine Corps air warriors. The run will take place in historic downtown Pensacola, beginning and ending at Seville Quarter, 130 E Government Street. Runners also have a virtual registration option, so you can participate from anywhere. Please join us on September 30th to run, remember, and honor...and help us to Never Leave a Wingman Behind.
The Wingman Foundation is an all-volunteer supported 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded by three Active Duty Marine Corps aviators in late 2014. The governments ability to provide assistance following an aviation mishap is finite and may not encompass all of the needs the family has in the aftermath of such a tragic event. TWF endeavors to fill that gap and lessen the burden on our Gold Star families and the families of injured aircrew immediately following, and sometimes long after a mishap occurs.
