Can’t wait to see you at our booth, or the honor wall.

🇺🇸 **IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!** 🇺🇸

❤️🤍💙 **5 DAYS UNTIL THE FREEDOM FUN RUN!**

Behind every great community event are people and organizations who step up, give their time, share their resources, and help turn an idea into reality.

As we count down to Saturday's **2026 Freedom Fun Run**, we want to recognize the incredible community support that is helping bring this event together!

💙 **OUR VOLUNTEERS** – The dedicated individuals giving their time and energy to help everything run smoothly, from planning and preparation to race-day activities.

🇺🇸 **OUR SPONSORS** – The generous businesses, organizations, and community leaders whose financial contributions and in-kind donations help make this event possible.

🤝 **OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS** – The nonprofit organizations, veterans groups, local businesses, and community supporters working together to make this a meaningful celebration.

🎸 **OUR EVENT SUPPORTERS** – The talented individuals and businesses providing music, decorations, equipment, supplies, and other services that help bring the Freedom Fun Run to life.

**TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED, VOLUNTEERED, DONATED, OR HELPED SPREAD THE WORD — THANK YOU!**

Your generosity reminds us what makes the Roseville community so special.

And to everyone planning to run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines — **WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!**

Fill the comments with your Hero! PVSD will be manning this wall at the fun run, come and see this in person!

🇺🇸 **WHO ARE YOU RUNNING FOR?** 🇺🇸

❤️🤍💙 **Every hero has a story. We'd love to hear yours!**

Earlier, we introduced our **Freedom Fun Run Honor Wall** — a special place where our community can recognize and honor the men and women who have served our country.

Now, we'd love to hear from YOU!

Is there a veteran in your family who inspires you? Are you especially proud of an active-duty service member? A loved one whose service and sacrifice you'll never forget?

💙 **WHO IS YOUR HERO?** 💙

If you're comfortable sharing, tell us who you're running or walking for. It might be a family member, a friend, or someone whose service has inspired you.

📸 **Share a name, branch of service or simply a few words about what makes that person special in the comments below.**

No story is too small, and every tribute matters.

**You don't have to be participating in the Freedom Fun Run to share someone you'd like to honor!**

On November 7, our Freedom Fun Run Honor Wall will bring our community together to recognize:

🇺🇸 **For Those Who Serve.**
🇺🇸 **For Those Who Sacrificed.**
🇺🇸 **For Those We Honor.**

Together, let's celebrate the people behind the uniforms and the stories that deserve to be remembered.

❤️🤍💙 **RUN FOR SOMEONE. WALK FOR SOMEONE. HONOR SOMEONE.**
