VFW Post 5594 requests your help to make our 12th Annual Run to Remember 5k an outstanding success, and this year we’re going HYBRID!  Planning is in high gear for this fun and worthwhile event.  Our IN-PERSON event will be held on Saturday, October 2nd at 9am, and our VIRTUAL event will be held from October 2nd – 10th.  Participants choose between running a 5k or walking a 1.4-mile course.  Kids get their own Fun Run!  Our event will honor all Active, Reserve, and Guard members and veterans who served our country in the past.  Each participant will wear the name of a veteran they wish to honor.  We anticipate 100+ runners and are looking forward to having a first-class event for many years to come!

The ability to maintain our Post home and community programs is directly related to the generosity of ours sponsors.  Our programs include, without limitation, the offering of two scholarships to local high school seniors, and the annual sponsoring of one or two slots at Camp Resilience in Gilford, NH for wounded warriors from the central MA area.  Our Post home is available for rent to the community for a variety of events, and we are excited about the opportunity to improve the building and its main hall for the greater good of Upton and surrounding communities.  We invite people to consider renting our hall (capacity 85) for personal and business events.

Please consider increasing your company’s exposure by sponsoring the 2021 Run To Remember.

​Sponsorship supports us in 3 critical ways:

1. Helps us increase the total funds raised for our Post home, events, and programs.
2. Helps us cover expenses such as race bibs, gaiters, event materials, runner’s awards, water, food, and other items.
3. Helps us provide raffle prizes for the runners, which increases the fun had by all and encourages more runners to attend.
