What could be better than enjoying sunshine and fresh air with your family and friends in a beautiful park while honoring local Veterans? At 7:30 am on November 11, 2023, The DASH in Life 5K will kick-off a full day of Veterans Day activities at Brevard Veterans Memorial Park. This idyllic course is flat, scenic, and inspiring. Stay for a special pinning ceremony recognizing all of the Veterans in attendance, immediately following the awards presentation.

Proceeds from the race will support the

We Honor Veterans program at St. Francis Reflections. We ensure that the Veterans in our care receive the honor, recognition, and appreciation that our heroes deserve. We say, “thank you” and share the story of their military service, sometimes for the first time, with their family and friends.

Register your team to run, walk, skip, or hop to celebrate the Veterans in your life!
