About
Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law is thrilled to bring back our Freedom Fun Run 5K!
We are proud to host this event annually as a part of our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve. Our prior events for Veterans have been incredibly successful, and we expect to draw record numbers of attendees who are excited to be able to support the men and women who have served our country.
This year, we offer both in-person and virtual participation options. The fundraiser benefits Veterans and honors their service to our country. We are eternally grateful for everyone’s support and participation in this event.
Our initial motive in launching this event was to do something special for the community that also benefited our Veterans. We hear the sacrifices Veterans have made and the sacrifices their families have had to make and want to do something to honor them. Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law fundraises for Veterans throughout the year, with this event being our biggest and most exciting one of the year!
100% of the Freedom Fun Run 5K proceeds will go to benefit local veteran organizations such as We Have Your Six, Operation Transportation, and the Jan Dils Foundation Scholarship for Veteran Recipients.
Every year we receive overwhelmingly positive support and feedback about this race. Lots of planning goes into this event, and we hope you’ll join us and support the cause as we continue to grow!
