Stonington, Conn. — The Coast Guard Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to strengthening the Coast Guard community and service by supporting members and families, announced today its annual Run to Remember will take place over Memorial Day weekend, May 24–26, 2025. 

Supporters can participate by purchasing a 2025 Run to Remember T-shirt with a $30 donation, available through the Foundation’s website. Proceeds directly benefit programs that aid Coast Guard families during times of tragedy.

All participants are encouraged to wear one of this year’s T-shirts and get together with friends, family and community members to run or walk in honor of Coast Guard fallen heroes and their families. 

“This year and every year, the Coast Guard Foundation is proud to honor the legacy of our Coast Guard fallen heroes by bringing people and communities together,” said Susan Ludwig, president of the Coast Guard Foundation. “We offer our most sincere gratitude to all who participate and support our mission to help Coast Guard families in times of great need.”
