TAPS needs volunteer photographers for this year's Marine Corps Marathon!
Team TAPS runners raise money and awareness for the TAPS mission by connecting with TAPS families and running races in honor of fallen Service Members. Your help in capturing their experience throughout race day is essential in recruiting runners to support families of the fallen, and ensure a memorable experience for participating Team TAPS athletes.
If you are interested and available for any of these shifts, please email volunteer@taps.org no later than October 15th for credentialing purposes. If you do not reply by October 15th, there is a chance you will not be credentialed, and therefore not allowed at the event. You must include the following in your email:
- Full name
- Preferred location
- contact phone number
- email address
- driver’s license number and state of issuance
- vehicle info (tags, year, make, and model)
If any of the above information is missing, we will not be able to complete the credentialing process, and you will not be allowed access to race day events.
Additional point of contact, location, and parking information will be provided by me once credentials are approved by race officials.
If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please let me know ASAP, so we can resolve them before the due date.

Description
OUR WORK
TAPS provides a variety of programs to survivors nation and worldwide. Our National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp has been held annually in Washington, D.C. over Memorial Day weekend since 1994. TAPS also conducts regional survivor seminars with adult and youth programs at locations across the country as well as retreats and expeditions around the world. Staff connects surviving family members to counseling in their community and helps navigate benefits and resources.
PEER SUPPORT FOR BEREAVED SURVIVORS
TAPS was founded on the principles of best practices in peer-based emotional support for bereaved survivors. Today, TAPS provides care to over 100,000 grieving military family members using these best practices. Peer support gives those who have had a unique experience or who are facing a personal challenge the framework to connect with others who share that experience or challenge. Peer support happens in individual and group settings. By the simple act of knowing they are not alone in their experience and realizing that other have overcome similar challenges, peers find validation, normalization, and ultimately, a sense of hopefulness.
TAPS is a national nonprofit 501(c)3 Veterans Service Organization and has a four-star rating on Charity Navigator.
