Join us for the UNCP Memorial 5K Run & Walk In Memory of 1LT Joshua Deese. 1LT Joshua Deese, a proud UNCP Class of 2003 graduate from Maxton who was killed in action in Iraq in 2006. His legacy continues to live on through his family, our community, and the generations of Braves who follow. This year marks the 20th anniversary of his sacrifice, and we’re committed to making this event even more meaningful.
The run is hosted by our UNCP cadet club, and proceeds support:
Cadet uniforms
Training opportunities
The future establishment of a scholarship in Joshua’s name
We especially hope to connect with UNCP alumni! Your presence makes a difference—not only in honoring 1LT Deese’s legacy but also in uplifting the next generation of cadets.
