Wounded Warrior Project - Carry Forward 5K 2025

A.O. Reed employees, along with their families and friends, came together to participate in the Carry Forward 5k hosted by the Wounded Warrior Project. With more than 50 participants making up our team, this was a wonderful opportunity to connect outside of the workplace and rally around a cause that is deeply meaningful to our company. We are proud to participate in this patriotic event for a third year in a row.

We are proud to share that A.O. Reed’s squad placed third in the category for most funds raised at the event. This year’s Carry Forward saw record-breaking attendance and collectively raised over $200,000 in support of our warriors and their families. A.O. Reed was proud to be part of this incredible achievement and to come together in such a big way to honor those who have served.

For A.O. Reed, the Carry Forward event is about more than just participation in a 5K, it is a meaningful way for us to live out our values. With many former veterans employed at our company, the mission of supporting warriors directly reflects who we are as a team. Taking part in this event gave us the chance to not only support an important cause but also honor the service of our colleagues, friends, and loved ones.

We are grateful to everyone who participated, donated, and encouraged our squad along the way. A.O. Reed is honored to have been part of this year’s Carry Forward, and we look forward to continuing to stand alongside our warriors and their families in the years ahead.

Thank you to all employees who donated and participated in this event!
