Anyone wishing to help veterans this 4th of July just needs to lace up their running shoes!
Part of the City of McAllen’s Independence Day Celebration presented by H-E-B is an Independence Day 4K Run – approximately 2.5 miles – to benefit Team Red White and Blue, a national veterans’ organization whose mission it is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity.
