No Soldier Walks Alone Step Challenge
June 13, 2024
Who’s ready to put on their walking shoes for a good cause? We’re excited to partner with Veterans Help Group, an organization that provides support and guidance through the often complex process of securing earned disability benefits. They’ve made a $15,000 donation to support the launch of the “No Soldier Walks Alone” campaign, a daily walking challenge set to take place in July aimed at raising awareness and funds to ensure no soldier has to walk their own personal journey alone.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of Veterans Help Group. Their donation will help us expand our reach and provide even more comprehensive support to our Service Members and Veterans. The ‘No Soldier Walks Alone’ campaign is a testament to the power of community and solidarity, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have.”- Amy Palmer, CEO of Soldiers’ Angels.
The “No Soldier Walks Alone” campaign will bring together Veterans, Active-Duty Military personnel, their families, and supporters from across the country in a unified effort to walk and raise donations. The funds raised will go towards our mission:
May no soldier go unloved; may no soldier walk alone; may no soldier be forgotten, even after they come home.
“We are honored to partner with Soldiers’ Angels for this important campaign. Our mission has always been to support our nation’s Veterans, and this initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to ensuring that no Veteran feels isolated or unsupported. We believe that by walking together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those who have sacrificed for our country.” – Joe Waring, Veterans Help Group
How it works
The walking campaign runs July 1-30 and encourages participants to gather pledges and donations for walking 10,000 steps a day through Facebook’s fundraising platform. Community members are invited to join the effort, either by participating in the challenge or by making financial contributions to the cause. Every 10,000 steps taken and every dollar raised will help us continue our work.
What do the funds support?
The funds raised from the 10k Steps a Day Challenge will directly benefit Soldiers’ Angels’ essential programs, including care packages for deployed Service Members, transportation and housing assistance, and critical health and wellness services. These programs are vital in providing comprehensive support to Military communities, ensuring that every Service Member, Veteran, and family member feels appreciated and cared for.
