La Frontera Arizona/EMPACT - Suicide Prevention Center is hosting its third annual Rally Point AZ Veterans’ event Sunday, November 13, 2016 at Rawhide Western Town. This event honors the men and women who have bravely served our country. It will also raise awareness and funds for our Rally Point AZ programs which work to provide services to Veterans in Arizona who are in crisis, and to reduce and eventually eliminate the 22 Veteran suicides that occur in our country every day.
The event features a 22 kilometer road march by 22 Veterans, signifying the 22 veteran suicides per day. Our event will also include live music and festival activities for the family. A special added event for this year is the inaugural "Rally Point Arizona Run" half-marathon and 5K, both starting and ending at Rawhide.
We need volunteer support to make this event a success. The primary needs for volunteers are to support the water stations located around the 5k and half-marathon race routes, registration tables, and event set-up and break-down.
We welcome your participation in this important and worthwhile event. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Les Sauve at (480) 784-1514 ext. 2124, or email les.sauve@lafrontera-empact.org. Additionally, you can sign up to volunteer at the race website at: https://rpazrun.phxfr.org/.
Thank You!
