SUPPORTERS & SPONSORS: This year, EANGA will be hosting our first 5K Run/Walk from 0600-0900 on Friday, March 15, 2024, and we want to invite your support and participation. The 5K Run/Walk will be conducted virtually as well as in-person at Papago Park Military Reservation, 5636 E. McDowell Road, Phoenix. The goal of this event is to raise awareness among Soldiers/Airmen and supporters about the Enlisted Association, the benefits of membership, and to raise funds so that selected association members can travel to several national events which are hosted by the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS). These events include two Legislative Workshops held in Washington, D.C. each year and the Annual EANGUS Conference, which will be in Detroit, Michigan this year.
In conjunction with our Walk/Run, the event will include a Resource Fair where exhibitors will have an opportunity to share an array of helpful and effective resources that are available to our National Guard members, Association members, and their families.
We are currently seeking groups, organizations, or businesses who would like to support the 5K Walk/Run and/or the Resource Fair. Support can be provided in a number of ways to include participation by military-supportive organizations in the Resource Fair (no cost), donation of funds to support our efforts, or in-kind donations of items for the Run/Walk such as bottled water/drinks, individually wrapped snacks, fresh fruit, or gift cards/items for prizes.
Supporters, Sponsors, and Resource Fair participants will be identified on promotional materials as well as being recognized on our EANGA website and social media platforms. If you would like to show your support, please complete the online Participant/Sponsorship form BELOW. A confirmation email with additional details will be provided as we get closer to race day.
EANGA is a 501(c)(19) organization with over 90% of our membership being combat veterans. If you itemize deductions, you may be eligible to claim your monetary or in-kind support as a tax-deductible donation; our EIN is: 86-6088126; please check with your tax advisor.
