2019 Wingman Foundation Results
The inaugural Wingman Foundation Coastal Carolina Memorial 5K & Kids 1 Mile is the first event in the Carolinas hosted by The Wingman Foundation to raise awareness of our mission to support Gold Star Families that have lost loved ones in Navy and Marine Aviation mishaps. This year we will remember SSgt T.J. Dudley who was lost during combat operations in Helmand Province Afghanistan on July 7, 2011. We are honored to have his widow, Mary Dudley, and other family members here to remember TJ and to raise awareness for The Wingman Foundation through this 5K and Kids 1 Mile.
About the Cause
The Wingman Foundation is an all-volunteer, veteran-founded non-profit organization dedicated to providing immediate post-mishap support for the Navy and Marine Corps Aviation community and their families. In addition to providing immediate support, the foundation is also proud to ensure that our nation’s fallen heroes are never forgotten and the loved ones they leave behind are always supported.
The foundation is able to honor our fallen heroes and provide for those they leave behind through your generous donations, volunteering, and business relationships.
