- Thousands of people will participate in the 9/11 Heroes Run in their communities throughout the US. These events will take place on or near September 11th, and are 100% organized by local community volunteers. It is the perfect opportunity for your community to come out and and personally thank local veterans, their families, first responders in an annual, fun and family friendly environment. The funds raised through the race will not only benefit the Travis Manion Foundation, but half the funds will also be invested locally to suppost the Westerville Fire Fighters' Memorial Scholarship Fund which provides support for any individual in the State of Ohio, pursuing a careeer in Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
The funds to support support the Travis Manion Foundation benefit community building projects, programs that inspire future leaders, initiatives that support camaraderie, and events that support our veterans, service members and their families.
