Purple Heart Homes Run, Roll & Stroll for Veterans consists of three races: a 1 Mile Fun Run, a 5K, and a 10K. The course takes you along the parade route of the Veterans Day Parade, which starts right after the race awards. Come on out for a beautiful run, roll or stroll through historic downtown Wilmington, and then catch a great parade – all proceeds go to Purple Heart Homes. You can help veterans, while helping yourself!
The Veteran’s Day Parade starts at 11:00am. Then come join us at Waterline Brewing for a parade/race after party – more details to come soon!
About the Cause
Purple Heart Homes‘ goal is to help reintegrate veterans into the community, and to proudly acknowledge the sacrifice they have made on our country’s behalf. Whether it is adapting an already owned home, building a home from the ground up, or adapting and modifying a foreclosed home, Purple Heart Homes is committed to guiding the veteran through the entire process. Their ultimate goal is to empower the veteran – giving him/her a full complement of skill sets that allow them to be a functioning member of their family, as well as a contributing member of the community. PHH serves all Veterans from the Korean War to Operation Iraqi freedom! Veterans who return and can’t fit their wheelchair into their kitchen, or aging veterans that need help with old injuries, Purple Heart Homes is there to help them.
