All of our fundraisers have one goal in common: to raise money so that we can build a memorial to honor Missouri’s fallen military personnel who were killed in action or a casualty of war during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and the Desert Storm/Shield wars; this is our Phase Two project.

Our Phase One project, the Gold Star Pavilion, was erected at Jefferson Barrack Park in 2014. To see more pictures, and learn more about our nonprofit, please visit our About section on this website.

5th Annual 5K Walk/Run for the Heroes

Before the day gets away from us we wanted to thank the following people, companies and organizations for supporting our 5th Annual 5K Walk/Run for the Heroes because without them it would not be such a huge success.

Our emcee: Favazz (as well as KSHE 95 – Real Rock Radio and Sweetmeat).

Our sponsors: American Legion Post 162 (Lemay, MO), Scott Credit Union (Edwardsville, IL) & Missouri Gateway Chapter, 101st Airborne.

Fredbird™ of the St. Louis Cardinals, Louie Blues of the St. Louis Blues, and the St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders for being there and getting everyone ready for the walk/run.

GoJet Airlines for their $5000 donation in memory of SGT Amanda Pinson Memorial to the MMMF yesterday.

Special thanks to Ella for raising $3003 with her lemonade stand in memory of SGT Zachary Fisher and all of our fallen military personnel. She is proof that one person can truly make a difference!

The Patriot Guard Riders for continually showing their support of our fallen and their families. What these men & women have done for this generation of Veterans, the fallen and their families is something incredibly special.
