The Delta Care and Scholarship Funds have made the decision to host a Virtual 5k fundraising event for the spring of 2021. Our most important consideration is the health and safety of our participants and partners as we continue to assess this challenging climate. We know that this fundraising event can and will be a success and want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate and support the Funds’ special event.
Race SWAG will be posted soon!
This year's Delta Scholarship Fund 5K is going virtual. Let's come together as a community while staying apart!
Here is how it works...
Step 1. Register to run/walk the virtual 5K and invite your friends to join!
Step 2. Your race SWAG (shirt and goodies) will be shipped to your door via USPS! You will receive email with tracking # as soon as your items are shipped towards the end of May.
Step 3. Run/walk the distance on your own, using our RaceJoy app or one of your other favorites to track your time and distance! Then, submit your time to be added to the Delta Scholarship Fund 5K results leader board. Post a picture of your run to Facebook or Instagram using #Delta5k
Step 4: You did it! Enjoy a cup of coffee or ice cream!
The Delta Care and Scholarship Fund's Virtual 5K Run/Walk is going to be bigger and better this year with a superhero theme and the option to run anywhere. We encourage each participant of the race to run in costume representing their favorite superhero.

Don, “Bullet” to all who knew him, loved Delta Air Lines. He happily served for almost 42 years in Tech Ops, starting his career in the Purchasing department in 1953 and ultimately creating the first Warranty program in the airline industry. He retired in 1995 as the General Manager of Warranty and Contract Administration, but his work for his Delta family did not stop there. Over the next 15 years, until his passing in 2010, he volunteered with the Delta Flight Museum, served on the board of DALRC, was an officer for the Delta Pioneers, and worked with the Delta Care and Scholarship Funds as a fundraiser and retiree consultant. Bullet took incredible pride in being part of the Delta family and would do anything to help a fellow family member in need. Shortly before his passing, he asked his daughter Joni, a member of the Res and Care division since 1996, to request that in lieu of flowers, his friends and family donate to the Delta Care and Scholarship funds in his memory. It gave him peace knowing that he could continue to help his Delta family even after he was gone.
The Delta Scholarship Fund provides educational scholarships to worldwide employees of Delta Air Lines and their eligible dependents. In 2019, more than 600 scholarships totaling $1.45M in awards were made, all from the generosity of employee and community support.
Please help us - his family, friends, and colleagues honor and remember him by signing up for the race, donating to the cause, or even sharing this to your network.
