Additionally, all event participants could donate to the cause during their registration process. This is the fourth year the Warrior Challenge group has partnered with the Pensacola Marathon to raise funds.
Brad King, founder of the Warrior Challenge and former Army Ranger, “We are thrilled to partner with Pensacola Sports to have the opportunity to award these scholarships to deserving individuals. Giving back and helping others is an important aspect of the Army Ranger life and culture. This is just a small way for us help someone who may need some assistance to extend their education.”
The application period ends May 31. The winning individuals will be notified by June 13.
“The Warrior Challenge group should be commended for their efforts for wanting to give back and make a difference,” said Pensacola Sports Executive Director Ray Palmer. “They came to us with the idea several years ago and they have taken off with it and grown it. I’m glad we can use our event, the Pensacola Marathon, to help with their cause.”
