Carry The Load Honors Heroes on the Front Lines

DALLAS, April 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carry The Load, a nonprofit that provides active ways for Americans to honor and remember the sacrifices made by our nation's heroes, is kicking off its Memorial May campaign on April 23. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Carry The Load offers meaningful ways for participants to form teams, build community and fundraise virtually now through Memorial Day.

"In this time of uncertainty, our mission and our purpose has not changed," says Stephen Holley, president and CEO of Carry The Load and veteran U.S. Navy SEAL. "Since 2011, Carry The Load has provided an outlet for financial and emotional support to our nation's heroes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world has become painfully aware of the courage and sacrifice of those on the front lines. Join us and donate at carrytheload.org."

Carry The Load's Continuum of Care program is a collaboration with corporate and nonprofit partners to raise awareness and funds to assist military, veterans, first responders and their families. This program supports essential recovery services for front line heroes, such as counseling, adaptive training, suicide prevention, job placements, scholarships for children of the fallen, and more.

Chase, the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co., is the title sponsor of Carry The Load for the sixth consecutive year. This support helps ensure that Carry The Load can live out its dedication to honor and remember our nation's heroes.

"Over the past weeks and months, we have all witnessed the heroism of those working on the front lines to protect our health and safety. Carry The Load's National Relay has always reminded us to come together as a community to honor these sacrifices," said Retired U.S. Army Colonel Mark Elliott, Global Head of Military and Veterans Affairs at JPMorgan Chase. "Perhaps now more than ever, we are grateful for the opportunity to join Carry The Load virtually to pay special tribute to our heroes past and present."
