2025 Tunnels to Towers 5K Fun Run Canton, TX

Come support VFW Post 12219 and help us raise funds for a great cause! Join us for a fun and meaningful 5K run, where 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Afterwards, we invite you to join us to celebrate the 2nd Annual Canton Military and First Responders Appreciation Day at the same location, where there will be food, drinks, door prizes, silent auctions, military vehicles, first responders, firefighter demonstrations, classic cars, motorcycles, vendors, and much more.

About the Beneficiary:

The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a New York-based not-for-profit organization that honors the sacrifice of FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller and others who died on September 11, 2001.

The foundation also recognizes military and first responders who continue to risk their lives for our country.

Tunnel to Towers’ mission is to “do good” by providing mortgage-free homes to families of fallen first responders and Gold Star families with young children.

Your participation will directly support their mission and make a real difference in the lives of American heroes and their families.
