Step Up for the Brave

On Saturday, August 15, Homes for the Brave invites the community to join in the 12th Annual Step Up for the Brave Challenge, a fitness fundraiser to help Connecticut Veterans experiencing homelessness, hunger, and mental health challenges.

Held at the Martire Family Arena at Sacred Heart University, this 90-minute challenge allows participants to choose to take laps on the 500 stair-climb challenge throughout the arena, or tackle a 1,000-step non-competitive walking challenge. Those unable to attend the event in person may participate in a virtual walking challenge, taking place from August 10-14.

The event will be co-hosted by WTNH Channel 8 Anchor/Reporter Alyssa Rae Taglia, AJ from WPLR’s Chaz & AJ show, and WFSB Channel 3’s award-winning sportscaster Marc Robbins. The cost is just $40, and participants receive an event shirt, a light breakfast, and a chance to compete for prizes. Visit www.homesforthebrave.org/stepupto register today.

Proceeds from this event will support Homes for the Brave’s mission to provide Veterans and their families with the support and resources needed to thrive. The Martire Family Arena at Sacred Heart University is located at 3135 Easton Turnpike in Fairfield, CT, and registration opens at 8am.
