The Wingman Foundation 5k

On October 22, 2022, The Wingman Foundation returns to the Cradle of Naval Aviation for its 2022 Pensacola Memorial 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run. This memorial run will be in honor and remembrance of our brave fallen Naval and Marine Corps air warriors.  The run will take place in historic downtown Pensacola, beginning and ending at Seville Quarter, 130 E Government Street. Runners also have a virtual registration option, so you can participate from anywhere.  Please join us on October 22nd to run, remember, and honor...and help us to Never Leave a Wingman Behind.  

The Wingman Foundation is an all-volunteer supported 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded by three Active Duty Marine Corps aviators in late 2014. The government’s ability to provide assistance following an aviation mishap is finite and may not encompass all of the needs the family has in the aftermath of such a tragic event.  TWF endeavors to fill that gap and lessen the burden on our Gold Star families and the families of injured aircrew immediately following, and sometimes long after a mishap occurs. 

TWF Supported Gold Star Family and Family of Injured Aircrew TWF has supported:  Please contact erin@wingmanfoundation.org for your registration coupon code!
