Our mission for this race is to create awareness of our volunteer Veteran services and increase our reach to support more local veterans and their families! Give veterans and active duty an evening of free racing/walking/camaraderie.
We want our community to know we are here, HERE to HELP!
The Bedford Veterans Center was founded in 2017 and actively creates solutions that solve the problems our Veterans face. Some services we provide are a place of support, appointments with Veteran Service Officers to discuss benefits/claims, readily available food pantry AND monthly food distributions serving over 35 veterans/families, and free round trips to medical appointments to the Toledo and Ann Arbor VA.
