ABOUT US
Our Mission:
A non-competitive and fun 5k Walk/Run to raise money for the underfunded Portage County Veterans Relief Fund.
Our Organization:
Our organization seeks to honor our nation’s veterans and their sacrifices. We are a grassroots-volunteer run and donate all proceeds to the Portage County Veterans Relief Fund. Portage County Veterans Relief Fund helps veterans-in-need with basic emergency needs for survival such as housing, heat, medicine, food and more.
Our Story:
Inspired by his daughter, Tim Peltier started the running of the flag in 2015. The first year was a fun run with small group of friends. After the first successful run, Tim wanted to find a way to benefit veterans directly and partnered with Portage County Veterans Relief Fund.
Who Benefits:
The 4,705 veterans living in Portage County. The Portage County Veterans Relief Fund provides resources and assistance to 160+ veterans every month, over 1,950 veterans every year.
