WHO CAN BE HONORED? You can honor military personnel or first responders (fire, police, EMT, etc). Basically, anyone that has stood in the gap to keep Americans safe and free is eligible to be honored. This includes veterans, those currently serving, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Anyone can participate in STEPS to HONOR! This is an awareness program designed for everyone living anywhere! Whether you are an accomplished runner, a Senior Citizen, a young child or belong to a group anywhere in between, you are welcome to take STEPS to HONOR an American Hero! STEPS can be taken anywhere! Inside or outside makes no difference!
WHAT HAS CHANGED THIS YEAR? We are excited to use the RallyUp platform which allows your friends to support your STEPS by pledging a donation. You are not required to do this, but it is a great opportunity to further share information and raise awareness. Those who want to participate will have the ability to create their own STEPS experience page to share. Another exciting addition for 2022, is the ability to track your mileage on your own STEPS page. You can enter daily, weekly, or all at once.
PROGRAM BENEFITS: SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! You will feel encouraged when you give back by honoring our nation’s heroes. We guarantee a “healthier you” if you take STEPS on a regular basis, and you will be part of spreading patriotism and a positive attitude which is something that our country desperately needs! This program will foster awareness for those that serve everyday to keep us safe and ensure our freedoms. A STEPS to HONOR certificate will be issued via email to registrants upon request.
WHEN CAN I START? The program officially runs from September 11 until November 11 (Veterans Day), but many of us walk in honor of our heroes 365 days a year. We have chosen to focus on this particular time period because these dates have significant meaning. September 11 is a date that will always remind us of the many who were tragically killed by terrorist attacks, and the many that stepped up to protect us on that day on 2001. Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to all those who have served.
CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE IF THE PROGRAM HAS ALREADY STARTED? Yes! You can start TODAY! This is an awareness program. If you walk one mile in a hero’s honor, we have accomplished our goal! Keeping track of mileage is optional and there are no prizes for most miles STEPPED. It’s not about us and how much we STEP. It is about honoring our heroes!
WHAT IF MY FITNESS DEVICE COUNTS STEPS INSTEAD OF MILES? No problem! If you do want to convert steps to miles, just remember that it takes about 2,000 steps to make one mile.
CAN I HONOR MORE THAN ONE HERO? Absolutely! You can honor one hero with every mile or you can honor a different hero with each mile. We will have a STEPS to Honor wall which displays the names of all the heroes being honored by participants.
HOW CAN I HONOR SOMEONE IF I DON’T KNOW ANYONE SERVING? If you don’t know anyone personally, you can go to one of the websites listed below and find a name of a fallen hero. Additionally, you can inquire about those in your local community that are currently serving and STEP in honor of them.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PARTICIPATE? The entry fee is $25, which includes a free STEPS to Honor t-shirt. All proceeds will benefit deployed troops by creating and shipping care packages. Wearing the t-shirt helps spread the word and make everyone aware that we have many heroes who need to be appreciated and encouraged. Click HERE to Register
WHEN IS THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER? You can register to STEP at any time. However, the free t-shirt registration deadline is August 21, 2022. This will allow time to create the shirts and have them ready for pickup before September 11. Click HERE to Register
WHAT IS MILITARY MISSIONS INC? We are an IRS approved 501c3 nonprofit organization made up of volunteers who want to be sure that our troops are always encouraged. Our organization has opportunities available that give everyone a chance to say “thank you” to our military. Get to know us and find out how you can support our military “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon”.
WHAT IS ANOTHER WAY TO HONOR MY HERO? Honor one of your heroes with a donation given in their honor. Military Missions will send a letter acknowledging your donation to the person of your choice. Click HERE if you would like to make a donation in honor/memory of someone.
Form a STEPS to HONOR Walking or Running Group in Your Community! Many people enjoy exercising with a friend or a group. It keeps us accountable and it’s a lot of fun. Your group could meet weekly and walk or run together for STEPS to HONOR. Imagine how many people will ask questions when they see your group walking by and everyone is wearing a STEPS to HONOR t-shirt! You’re sure to catch the attention of people in your community and you can get even more people involved in this awareness program. Take a picture of your group and share with us! We will post on our website and social media. If you form a group in your area, let us know and we will SHARE a link so others in your community can join in your efforts.
