Flora-Bama's Beach Run/Walk for America's Warriors Raises $12,000

What an incredible day on the sand at our Beach Run for America’s Warriors! This year, we had the honor of recognizing Sgt. Maj. James G. ‘Ryan’ Sartor, and we are beyond grateful to his family for joining us. Each year, Flora-Bama donates 100% of registration fees for this race back to Special Operations Warrior Foundation. This soft sand run, gives participants the option to run the half marathon that goes into Florida or the 5k that goes into Alabama. This year, we raised over $12,000 for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and have donated over $100,000 since the inception of the event. A huge thank you to everyone who ran, walked, donated, and supported this mission. See you next year! For more info on this annual event at Flora-Bama visit our website HERE:
