A 2021 Thank you from Marathon Jam
A Note from the President of Marathon Jam
I have started every Marathon Jam by saying:
“Without you, the musicians who come and perform for our Veterans at VA Hospitals and our fundraisers, and without all the people who trust and support us, I am just a guy with a dream.” To that end, the Board of Directors is proud to announce that because of all you amazing, talented, and giving people, and in the middle of a pandemic that kept us from gathering together, Marathon Jam raised more money in 2021 than ever before.
Just a few weeks ago, the Board authorized sending
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to the Fort Bragg Fisher House and
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to the Fisher House at Camp Lejeune.
In addition, we were able to send TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS to Camp Corral, a summer camp for the children of injured, wounded or fallen military families.

And we are beyond delighted to announce we have also sent THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS to North Carolina First Responder Peer Support which provides ongoing emotional wellness resources to the fire service, law enforcement and emergency medical service community.

While most charities struggle in this pandemic, Marathon Jam has succeeded beyond all our expectations and that is, quite frankly, all because of YOU.
The Board wants to thank our amazing Iron Pickers, our VA Hospital Volunteers, our Iron Quilters, and all you incredible people who donated in support of our mission to assist the families of injured soldiers and first responders.
On a personal note, I am humbled and inspired by the passion and dedication of our Board Of Directors who together have guided Marathon Jam to a Gold Seal of Transparency ranking for its non-profit mission and performance.
This prestigious designation was awarded by Guidestar, one of the largest charity watch organizations in the country.
