2019 Veteran's Day Run Results

Come out to Festival Park to celebrate Veteran’s Day with a 5K & 1 Mile. Both races start and end at Festival Park, with the 5K also going through Freedom & Rowan Parks. All participants will receive an awesome commemorative coin at the finish line!

Members of the Cumberland County Veterans Council and other Veterans Organizations with chapters in the County will be asked to participate by having representatives and service officers at Festival Park to answer questions about Veteran’s Benefits, where and how to apply for benefits.

About the Cause

VFW Post 670 was established and received their charter in 1937, and moved into their current location in the early 1950’s. Since the beginning they have maintained a Service Officer whose sole job is to assist any veteran with VA claims, pre-discharges, discharges, and resettlement problems.
 
The Buddy Poppy Program is held in the County monthly with all Donations going to Veterans or their families in need. In the months after Hurricane Matthew they raised and distributed over $3,000.00 in the county. They also hold fundraising drives for the Falcon Children’s Home in Harnett County, in addition to an annual Christmas Party. Volunteers visit the State Veterans Home and the Veteran’s Hospital providing activates for the clients on a regular monthly schedule.
