Muscatine Area Memorial Hike was created to take back Memorial Day! Held on the Saturday before Memorial Day long weekend, its mission is to keep service members who have paid the ultimate sacrifice relevant, promote services available to veterans and survivors, as well as give back to families who have lost loved ones. Proceeds will be stewarded by a board to provide scholarships, financial services, and help meet the needs of those left behind. Your financial contribution or volunteer service will support this mission, as well as provide advertisement for your group or organization. Participant shirts will feature Gold Star Sponsors (those providing a financial contribution valued at $500 or more) and Blue Star Sponsors (any lesser financial contribution, service, or donation) on the back. Help us combat the idea that this is just another long weekend. It means so much more! We live in the land of the free because of the brave!
