    Heroes for Military Kids 5K and Kids Dash

    AVET Project Announces Inaugural “Heroes for Military Kids 5K/Kids Dash” on April 11, 2026: Honoring the Sacrifices of Military Families and Their Children Patrick Space Force Base, FL – The AVET Project, a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer nonprofit organization, is thrilled to host its first-ever Heroes for Military Kids 5K and Kids Dash on April 11, 2026, starting at 8:00 a.m. at The Avenues Viera.

    This heartfelt event honors veterans, active-duty service members, and especially their children, while raising awareness and support for healing military families. These families sacrifice immensely to safeguard our freedoms—now it's our chance to give back, helping them and their loved ones find renewed strength and healing.

    At AVET Project, we always prioritize including the entire family, particularly the kids, because many Americans overlook the profound sacrifices military children make.

    A military child is like a dandelion: tough, bright, and impossible to keep down.

    The dandelion grows anywhere its seeds land—no matter how rocky, dry, or unfamiliar the soil—thanks to its deep, stubborn roots and unbreakable will to bloom. Similarly, military kids are swept along by frequent PCS moves, landing in new bases, schools, and even countries. Yet, they quickly sink roots, open up, and flourish wherever they go. Through countless goodbyes and new hellos, they gain unique superpowers: resilience, adaptability, and a heart that feels at home anywhere in the world. Just like the dandelion, they don't merely survive—they transform every new place into proof of their ability to thrive.

    AVET stands for American Veterans Empowerment Team. Empowering our military community takes a united effort—we can't do it without your help.

    As long as our military families stand on the front lines for us, we will stand beside them. That's why we need YOU.

    Your time, your voice, or any form of support creates real impact. Together, we can bring lasting positive change to those who sacrifice so much. We truly can't do this without you. Will you join us?

    Thank you for considering a donation or sponsorship. For more information, please contact us at: info@avet-project.org

    We Live in the Land of FREEDOM because of the BRAVE.

    Don’t forget “Thank A Vet”
