1 Day for the K.I.A. Fall 5K - www.1dayforthekia.org
When a United States military service member is killed in action, missing in action, held prisoner of war, or is disabled in the line of military service, two tragedies occur: The first is the loss or disabling of the individual, and the second is the resulting parentless childhood endured by the service member’s offspring. The child must now grow up lacking the same parental, monetary, and emotional support normal in a two-parent household.
1 Day for the K.I.A. helps solve these problems and accomplishes our mission primarily through our Living Legacy Scholarship. Because the child is so uniquely similar to their parent, not only biologically but also in terms of personal and familial values, we regard them to be the continuation of their parent. By facilitating the academic and professional growth of their child, we are keeping alive the fallen/disabled service member. Through the same rationale, this scholarship has also been made available to the siblings of our fallen. Lastly, we additionally accomplish this mission by holding several awareness and remembrance events through the year.
If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Nick Hartman at nickhartman03@gmail.com or 740-833-5142. Requests made one week in advance of the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
