COAST GUARD FOUNDATION FALLEN HEROES SCHOLARSHIP
FUND TO BENEFIT FROM COAST GUARD REMEMBER
Countrywide Events Raise Awareness and Support for
Coast Guard’s Fallen Heroes
Stonington, Conn. – The Coast Guard Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to
the education, welfare and morale of all Coast Guard members and their families,
announced today that the Coast Guard Remember movement – which raises funds to
support the Coast Guard Foundation’s Fallen Heroes Scholarship Program – will hold the
majority of its events the weekend of May 17 - 19, 2013 at venues across the country. The
weekend of walks, runs, bike rides and workouts raises funds for the children of Coast
Guard members who have died in the line of duty.
The signature event of Coast Guard Remember is the Keys 100, a 100-mile ultra-marathon
that starts in Miami and ends in Key West, Florida, in which 90 Coast Guard members will
run in teams to honor Coast Guard personnel who have died in the line of duty since 1978.
Additionally, at Coast Guard bases and in cities across the country, family and friends of the
Coast Guard are participating in activities to pay tribute to those service members who have
made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
“We are proud to be part of Coast Guard Remember events, and we are honored to have its
proceeds support our Fallen Heroes Scholarship Fund,” said Robert Flynn, chairman of the
board of directors, Coast Guard Foundation. “During times of trouble, the Coast Guard
Foundation acts as a lifeline for members of the Coast Guard. The Fallen Heroes
Scholarship Fund allows us to provide support for those who have lost loved ones in the line
of duty.”
For over 40 years, the Coast Guard Foundation has been committed to inspiring leadership,
learning and a proud legacy of service to our nation by supporting the men of women of the
United States Coast Guard and their families. In addition to the Fallen Heroes Scholarship
