Team Hope For The Warriors® owns bibs to sold out Army 10-Miler

July 19, 2012 - PRLog -- WASHINGTON,DC, July 19, 2012 – The Army Ten-Miler will be held this year on Sunday, October 21, 2012.  Although the race sold out in less than a day,  bibs are still available through Hope For the Warriors®, a national nonprofit organization that assists combat wounded service members, their families, and families of the fallen.

This is the first year that the Army Ten-Miler has Military Community Partners to allow participants to raise money for charity.  Hope For The Warriors® is one of those partners and through Team Hope For The Warriors®, both wounded service members and community athletes will have the opportunity to run in this popular race.

To join the Team and obtain a bib for the Army Ten-Miler, Team members commit to raising a minimum of $500 for Hope For The Warriors®.  To support fundraising efforts, the nonprofit provides online tools to distribute e-mails to potential donors.  The website, social media sites, and the blog can also be utilized to educate potential donors of how Hope For The Warriors® supports military families.

“When you join Team Hope For The Warriors®, you will run alongside the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms,” Jenlene Nowak, Team Hope For The Warriors® Director said.  “The race becomes more meaningful.”
