Supporting Those Who Serve
On behalf of OnPoint 1-1 and the Heroes of America Marathon, we take great pride in standing with those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our nation and communities. Your generous donation directly supports organizations committed to aiding military personnel, veterans, first responders, EMS, and firefighters. Together, we make a lasting impact by contributing to Samaritan’s Purse, Tunnel to Towers, GallantFew, and Back Columbus Blue—ensuring those who sacrifice for us receive the care and support they deserve.
Samaritan’s Purse: Bringing Hope in Jesus’ Name
Inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37), Samaritan’s Purse has spent over 50 years providing spiritual and physical aid to those in crisis. Serving victims of war, poverty, disasters, and disease, we bring food, medicine, and relief while sharing the love of Jesus Christ. Our mission is clear: to follow Christ’s command to help the hurting and proclaim the Good News of eternal life through Him.
Tunnel to Towers: The Legacy of Stephen Siller
Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller was a devoted husband, father, and hero who lived by the words of St. Francis of Assisi: “While we have time, let us do good.” On September 11, 2001, after finishing his shift, he selflessly ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel with 60 lbs. of gear to the Twin Towers, where he gave his life-saving others. His courage and sacrifice continue to inspire, reminding us all to live with purpose and compassion.
GallantFew: Guiding Veterans to a Life of Purpose
Founded by veterans for veterans, GallantFew provides one-on-one transition support to service members reintegrating into civilian life. With a mission to foster hope and purpose, we empower communities to welcome and support returning veterans. What started as a small group of Army Rangers has grown into a nationwide network serving all branches, ensuring no veteran navigates the transition alone.
Back Columbus Blue
Back Columbus Blue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting first responders in Columbus, Georgia. Founded to recognize and assist police, fire/rescue, and EMS personnel, the organization provides holiday meals for these heroes and their families, fostering community appreciation and solidarity. Their primary fundraiser, the annual Back Columbus Blue Golf Tournament, ensures the continuation of these supportive initiatives.
