Ruck for Rugrats: Take the $250 Challenge for Veterans
Take the $250 Challenge! Join Ruck for Rugrats and help 5th Squad continue its mission of Veterans Helping Veterans while bringing our community together for an incredible cause.
Why Your Support Matters
For 11 years, Ruck for Rugrats has united Veterans, families, and communities through service. Last year, 800+ participated in Jackson, MS, and Washington, D.C. Over the years, the ruck has reached Flowood, MS, Kuwait, and Jordan! Take the $250 Challenge and help us grow the mission. Funds raised support 5th Squad’s Veteran programs, while toy donations benefit Children’s of Mississippi Hospital, the largest toy donation they receive each year.
Ideas to get you started
Birthday fundraiser
Have birthday guests ask for donations rather than gifts. Encourage others to also set up a fundraising page where every dollar raised goes directly to humanitarian aid, where it’s needed most.
Fitness challenge
You can either plan this fundraiser as a virtual challenge for people to complete on their own time or gather everyone to participate in the challenge together.
Game night
Game nights are a popular way to support your cause. By creating a fundraiser today, you’ll help families receive relief faster and begin rebuilding their lives sooner.
