Campaigns

Movement That Moves the Mission

For The 22 turns movement, events, storytelling, and community participation into direct support for organizations serving veterans, first responders, and their families.

70.3 miles inspired the number. A community will reach it.

Current Mission

The $70K Mission

What began as a 70.3-mile triathlon challenge grew into something bigger. For The 22 is working toward a shared $70,000 fundraising goal in support of Mighty Oaks Foundation and Veterans and Athletes United. Tri For The 22 inspired the number — but reaching it will take more than one athlete and one race. That's why every For The 22 campaign contributes toward the same mission.

What's Next?

The Beginning, Not the Finish Line

The current campaigns are working toward a shared $70,000 goal benefiting Mighty Oaks Foundation and Veterans and Athletes United.

But For The 22 was never intended to end with one race, one fundraising goal, or two organizations.

We are exploring future fundraising opportunities supporting additional verified nonprofit organizations serving veterans, first responders, and their families.

The $70K Mission has a finish line. For The 22 does not.
