We are looking into conducting a regional run in October and will provide an update once the details have been finalized.

Sweatin For Vets Cross Country Run
Sincerely, Rich Smith IAFF Local 1758 President 509-929-3317
Members of the International Association of Fire Fighters, the American Legion and The Veterans of Foreign Wars are teaming up to host an event of Monstrous proportions. The, “Sweatin For Vet’s Cross Country Fund Raising and Awareness Run”. We are going to be running from Seattle Fire Department station # 5 on the waterfront in Downtown Seattle, WA. Due to difficulties in securing funding for liability insurance the run for 2008 will be limited to the Pacific Northwest. Specific detail will be announced when they are finalized.
The goal of the event is to raise funds for the, “Sweats For Vet’s” program. When injured members of our military come back to the U.S. from over seas’ they are sent to various military hospitals around the country for care and rehabilitation. While they are at these hospitals they only have hospital gowns or similar clothing to wear until their personal belongings catch up to them from wherever they were stationed. Sometimes this is upwards of 2 months. What the program is designed to provide is comfortable clothing for our men and women of the military when they are rehabilitating and to give them some dignity.
We are asking for your help. We are in the need of monetary donations of any size. If we all give to this cause we can make huge difference to those members of country that are in need! Time is of the essence and we are asking for your support. We are hoping that we can make a difference with this event and show the men and women of our military that we care about them and we are willing to run from sea to sea to give them the assistance that they deserve! Please join us in this great effort! We are looking forward to working with you and Thank You for support in advance. If you have any questions contact me at richsmith@sweatinforvets.org .
