Courage to Rise: Academy Memorial Competition
About This Competition
Event Description
The Courage to Rise: Academy Memorial Competition aims to foster a sense of community around the country through fitness. This competition is being held to raise awareness for mental health and suicides in the military in remembrance of Billy Gorczynski and Joe Thornton, two members of USAFA’s class of 2020 whose lives were tragically lost due to this growing issue. Through this fitness competition, we hope to create a community that gives everyone the courage to support each other and rise stronger together, united.
