About This Activity
By Robbie Veltre, QVHS class of 2014

The inaugural Brave American Classic was my sophomore project at Quaker Valley High School. Sophomores choose a project reflecting their passion and complete the project during the school year. I chose to organize a run/walk benefitting Boulder Crest Retreat for Military and Veteran Wellness because I am a passionate cross country/track run

ner, and because my father is a Board member of Boulder Crest. I very much wanted to make a positive impact by raising awareness about the Retreat and its impact on wounded troops. The first Brave American Classic was run on February 25, 2012 at War Memorial Park in Sewickley PA. The event was fun and so well supported that it set the record at Quaker Valley High School for a sophomore project fundraiser. Since then we have decided to continue the event as an annual avenue for giving back. It has grown larger & better every year. I serve as the overall Race Director. Event details and schedule
