What Is Memorial May?
From April 28 to May 26, Memorial May events occur nationwide, bringing communities together to pay tribute to our nation’s heroes. With participants and partners, Carry The Load tangibly serves our country’s military, veterans, first responders, and their families. We unite thousands in a nationwide campaign that boasts hundreds of local events across the country to provide Americans active, meaningful opportunities to honor and remember our fallen heroes.
Money raised throughout Memorial May goes towards supporting military, veterans, first responders, and their families so that they have access to counseling, adaptive training, suicide prevention, equine therapy, service dogs, job placements, transition, home improvements, scholarships for children, and more.
