The 31Heroes Project exists to honor our fallen heroes through fitness and raise funds for the families of those killed in action August 6, 2011, as well as organizations that provide support to families of our fallen military heroes.
The 31Heroes Project came about in response to 31 of our brave heroes being killed in action on August 6, 2011. Not only have these men paid the ultimate sacrifice, but their families have as well. This fundraiser’s initial intent was to shows these families we support them and stand behind them during this difficult time. In 31Heroes’ first event, we raised close to $300,000. With such an amazing outpouring, we’ve decided to move forward making 31Heroes its very own non-profit and the event an annual reminder that we do not forget the sacrifice. We do also realize that these 31 are not the first that have made this ultimate sacrifice and, unfortunately, won’t be the last. Because of this we have decided that moving forward, funds raised will go, not only to these 30 families, but each year we will select a couple organizations that share the same goal of supporting the families of our fallen heroes.
Through the rest of 2011, please be patient with us as we are in the very beginning phases of putting together this organization and are working diligently to get all of our ducks in a row. If you have any questions, please shoot us an email. We are so grateful for the huge support we have had thus far and look forward to make 31Heroes an annual event we can all be proud to be a part of.
