Every year, we are humbled by the incredible generosity of our community. Because of each and every one of YOU… our participants, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and supporters, we are proud to announce that our 2026 Brandon C. Franzen Memorial 5K raised enough money that we are proudly about to donate $4,000 to Dress Right Dress in honor of our nation’s veterans.
This donation will help provide assistance wherever it is needed most, ensuring that veterans receive the support and resources they deserve.
This year, we also dedicated our race to the memory of Sergeant Travis Savage, another veteran whose loss recently touched our community. While we gathered to honor Brandon’s legacy, we also paused to remember Travis and the countless others who have struggled with the invisible wounds that so many carry.
If you are struggling, please know that you are not alone. There is always someone willing to listen, and there is always hope. If you don’t know where to turn or what resources are available, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Brandon C. Franzen Memorial Foundation. While we may not have all the answers, we will do everything we can to connect you with people and organizations that can help. Sometimes, one call , one text… just one conversation can be the difference between life and death.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Thank you for helping us continue Brandon’s legacy of service, compassion, and giving back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of our veterans. 🫡
❤️🫡🇺🇸 Thank you for standing with us, honoring both Brandon and Travis, and reminding our veterans that they are never forgotten, and that are certainly and never truly alone. 🇺🇸🫡❤️
