TAPS Joins Forces with West Point Runners to Honor Families of America’s Fallen Heroes

Wednesday, September 21st, 2016

Arlington, Va. – The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) is excited to announce their partnership with West Point’s U.S. Army Garrison Installation Family & MWR to honor those who have lost loved ones to military service, regardless of circumstance, through physical and social activities.

On Sunday, Oct. 9, three West Point teams (two active duty and one cadet) will run for Team TAPS in the 32nd Annual Army Ten-Miler race in Washington, D.C. The Team Long Gray Line athletes will sport their West Point gear with a TAPS logo patch; and each will run for a fallen West Point cadet or graduate in honor of their legacy and in tribute to the families they leave behind.

“This is such an incredible partnership to not only raise awareness of the TAPS mission of providing compassionate care and assistance to our heroes’ families and loved ones but to have our current and future Army leaders serving as TAPS Ambassadors in educating our military families that TAPS is and will be there for them, always.” said Tyler Gierber, USAG West Point’s Family & MWR Marketing Director.

The West Point teams at the Army Ten-Miler hope to inspire service academy graduates from across the country to join forces and donate to the Team Long Gray Line’s Team TAPS fundraising page at www.taps.org/TeamLongGrayLine. Contributions will support TAPS programs and ongoing support of surviving families of military loss. Through TAPS, survivors can participate in peer-based emotional support, grief and trauma resources, healing seminars and retreats, camps for children, casework assistance, connections to community-based care, online and in-person support groups and the 24/7 National Military Survivor Helpline.

“The commitment and excitement of Team Long Gray Line support to TAPS and our Army Ten-Miler efforts is inspiring,” said West Point Class of ’93 graduate Craig Wilhelm of Team TAPS. “The funds and awareness raised by our Team TAPS athletes will help those families who have lost a loved one to military service. We are deeply grateful for the three West Point teams running for Team TAPS and our partnership with the United States Military Academy.”
