Join us on Monday, August 12, 2019 for the UA Plumbers & Pipe Fitters 5K and Pub Crawl! In collaboration with Destination Ann Arbor, we are putting on a race and pub crawl to benefit charity.
All proceeds from the race will go to the Semper Fi Fund.
The Semper Fi Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides crucial medical and financial assistance to U.S. servicemen and women wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as to their families. Many rely on the Semper Fi Fund in order to have family members nearby while they recuperate in the hospital, as well as to help them get back on their feet financially when they return home. Since 2004, the fund has issued more than 41,000 grants totaling more than $61 million to thousands of our heroes and their families.
