Thank you for registering to honor Pat's legacy
and empower the Tillman Scholars at the
13th Annual Pat's Run, the signature fundraising
event for the Pat Tillman Foundation.
Pat's Run proceeds directly support scholarships for Tillman Scholars – military veterans
and spouses—who share Pat's spirit of service, learning and action. Since the Foundation's inception
in 2004, through the generous support of donors nationwide combined with proceeds generated at
Pat's Run, the Pat Tillman Foundation has invested over $14 million in academic support and
resources for military veterans and spouses committed to a life of service in and out of uniform.
For the 13th Annual Pat’s Run, we anticipate more than 30,000 participants in Tempe and thousands
more at Tillman Honor Runs and Troop Runs nationwide. No matter where you choose to run, you
can help make this Pat's Run the most meaningful one to date with a pledge to raise $100 by April.
Your contribution will directly support hundreds of Tillman Scholars as they study to become our nation’s next leaders in medicine, business, law, education and the arts.
Together, Tillman Scholars are carrying forward Pat’s legacy of leadereship and service to others.
Imagine their impact for our communities and our country in the years to come. Every dollar you
help raise is not just a donation. It’s an investment in our future.
During the registration process, you can create a personal Pat’s Run fundraising page in a few easy
steps to support this extraordinary group of men and women. Be sure to take a moment to hear the
stories of Tillman Scholars making a difference in your community at:

Thank you for your support!

#NEVERSTOP HONORING
Pat’s Run is the signature fundraising event for the Pat Tillman
Foundation. Held annually in April at Sun Devil Stadium, the event
attracts more than 30,000 participants, volunteers and spectators
from across the country. Together, we run to honor Pat’s memory while
raising important funds to support the scholarship programs created
in his name. From the inaugural run held in 2005 with nearly 5,000
participants, the event has seen unprecedented growth each year
and the 4.2 mile run has reached capacity with 28,000 participants
making it the largest race in Arizona.
ABOUT PAT'S RUN
The 4.2 mile course winds through the streets of Tempe. The
fun continues after the race with a race day expo that features
entertainment, refreshments and more than 50 local and national
vendors. For children 12 and under the Kids Corner is an interactive
zone filled with games, inflatables and special appearances by
members of the Arizona Cardinals, Arizona State Sun Devils and
local sports team mascots. Kids 12 and under can also register for
the .42 mile run/walk taking place from the Kids Corner to Sun
Devil Stadium.
INVEST IN OUR MISSION
Proceeds raised at Pat’s Run support the Tillman Scholars Program.
Founded in 2008, the Tillman Scholars program supports our nation’s
active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses by
investing in their higher education. Since the program’s inception,
the Foundation has named 460 Tillman Scholars at more than 100
academic institutions nationwide. The scholarship covers educational
expenses, including tuition and fees, books and living expenses. But
scholars receive much more than just funding. Our program unites the
best talent and leadership in the military to make a significant impact
in medicine, law, business, policy, technology, education and the arts.
