Welcome to the Houston Strong fundraising page!
Houston is full of strong people. Through droughts, hurricanes, floods, and summer heat that can fry an egg on the hood of a car, we hold strong, and we hold together. This fundraising team is not just about holding strong during a race, it's about taking that Houston Strong spirit, and turning it around to honor and remember those who make it possible for us to live this amazing life here in Houston. In this spirit, we are proudly supporting the Semper Fi Fund for the 2019 race season, and asking for donations to help the Semper Fi Fund continue its mission.

The Semper Fi Fund is an amazing non profit that assists wounded, critically ill and injured service members who have given so much and are an inspiration to so many. The Semper Fi Fund is dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. We deliver the resources they need during recovery and transition back to their communities, working to ensure no one is left behind.
The Fund's streamlined structure keeps overhead as low as possible because we realize every dollar saved can be put to better use serving those who have served us all in the ongoing job of preserving our nation’s freedom. Since its inception in May 2004, Semper Fi Fund provided over $191 million in assistance to more than 22,000 service members and their families.
The Semper Fi Fund is exceptionally rated among veteran nonprofits: We pledge to stay by the service member’s side throughout recovery, to help that service member as they transition back home. We have consistently received an A+ from CharityWatch, one of only two veteran nonprofits to receive this rating, and eight consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator, plus a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar.
