The Run for Veterans
The Run For Veterans was a 501c3 registered non-profit organization started by Sergeant Brendan O’Toole and a Board of Directors. The Mission was to promote positive mental, physical & social wellbeing for United States Armed Forces Veterans and their families. As O’Toole and The Run For Veterans made their way from Oceanside, California to Portland, Maine, they organized fundraising events to gather veterans and civilians to support The USO, Team Red White and Blue, and Give an Hour. Over $400,000 was raised for these organizations.
