On Oct. 15th, 2015, the Brigade's NGO, the Veteran Paratroopers Foundation, will hold a first-of-its-kind cross-country relay race, from the Mediterranean coast to Zippori National Park in the Lower Galilee. The relay is meant to tighten the bond between the Brigade's people, veterans included, to stay physically and operationally fit, and to get familiar withIsrael's most beautiful landscapes- through our feet.

 

The relay is expected to include 1,500 runners, in combined groups of soldiers, commanders, veterans and combat support personnel. It is complex event, planned as a full-fledged military operation. The route has been carefully drafted by our senior officers, consuming a great deal of time and private resources for the last six months.

 

However, since the brigade's NGO is a non-military entity, the relay cannot be funded by the IDF, and requires private funding. 

 

Many things are required for the relay's success- food and water for the runners along the route, caps and t-shirts, lighting and sound, medical support, insurance, return transport etc.

 

Your support will help us face the challenge and color Israel's northern landscaped in red, for one glorious day of days. 

 

On Us!
