Battle of the Branches 5K – United in the Fight Against Veteran Suicide
Hosted by: La Frontera EMPACT-SPC, and Rally Point Arizona
..................... 
A friendly competition between all branches of the military to raise money and awareness in the Fight against Veteran Suicide. One Branch wins the title for the most registered participants, but all our Veterans and their families along with all who support the event, are the WINNERS.
Why support Rally Point Arizona?
It is estimated that at least one in five Veterans and Service members will struggle with substance abuse, relationship issues, stress, hopelessness and even thoughts of suicide. Unfortunately, that is just the beginning.
Drawing on their lived experience, Rally Point Navigators provide the needed guidance, access to resources, and peer support necessary to ensure those who have served us know they are not alone.
Rally Point services are FREE of charge to Veterans and families.
Rally Point Arizona will host their Annual Battle of the Branches 5K on 10/2/22 to raise funds and awareness in support of the Rally Point Arizona program.
When registering, make sure to select a branch of military service you support. This could be the branch of service in which you, a family member or co-worker served OR simply support your favorite branch of service.
