On June 1, 2025, BAPS Charities brought the community together in Frisco, TX, for its annual “Spirit of Service: Walk-Run.” This inspiring event encouraged participants to step forward in support of The American Legion, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving veterans, active-duty service members, and their families through advocacy, community programs, and youth development.
With over 1,400 participants, the event welcomed individuals of all ages, including U.S. Congressman Marc Veasey, who joined in solidarity for the cause. Reflecting on the day’s impact, Joanne Schumm from American Legion Post 178 in Frisco shared, “This extremely kind donation from you to our post will assure the continuation of high-quality youth programs and our scouting troop 178. We thank you for the honor of being this year’s recipient as an associated charity of the BAPS Charities Walk-Run 2025.”
The BAPS Charities Walk-Run in Frisco is one of more than 100 similar events held across North America as part of a broader initiative benefiting local organizations. For over 20 years, BAPS Charities has organized over 1,100 walks, making a meaningful impact by supporting important causes and fostering a spirit of service and unity.
