THE RACE

The Wingman Foundation Coastal Carolina Memorial 5K & Fun Run serves to provide necessary assistance in the immediate aftermath of a military aviation mishap. 

The event features a Friday evening packet pickup, a 5K and 1 Mile on Saturday, and a brunch following at Mission BBQ.

This event is especially meaningful as it is an opportunity to remember this crew and all other Navy and Marine Corps aircrews who have been lost since 9/11/2001.

THE CAUSE

In the immediate aftermath of a military aviation mishap, The Wingman Foundation (TWF) steps in to provide the necessary assistance to the affected service members and their families.

TWF makes funds available to help with family expenses such as funeral, travel, and lodging costs. Since its founding in late 2014, TWF has been able to support every single Class A (fatal) mishap in the Navy and Marine Corps in some way.

The support does not stop there. Any additional funds can be used by the family or squadron even many years afterward to continue honoring their Sailor's or Marine's legacy.
