Honor Our Heroes Memorial Walk & Run 2027 — Oldsmar, FL

We are very proud to announce the Annual Honor Our Heroes Memorial is back and now with more options to join! Oldsmar Cares is a for-impact 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates solely on the support of volunteers and donors. Serving the local community since 1997, we offer assistance as a food pantry, clothing closet, and other essentials, such as temporary rent and utility assistance, to those facing difficult times while keeping families together. On Saturday, 29 May 2026, and in recognition of Memorial Day, we continue our collaboration and veteran outreach with the All-American VFW Post 12186 here in Oldsmar. Our two distinguished nonprofit organizations are a 100% all-volunteer force. We are working together to build a better community, and all net proceeds from the event will support our efforts to serve residents, families, veterans, and community projects. This year, along with a fantastic lineup of sponsors and vendors, we welcome back Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) and Three Brothers NY Pizza to help expand our afterparty menu!
