A PERSONAL REQUEST FROM QUHARRISON TERRY
I'm running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days to help veterans facing homelessness.
That's 183.4 miles around the world in one week.
I chose this challenge. But no one chooses to face homelessness.
I believe organizations like yours can help turn these miles into real support for veterans working toward stability and a place to call home.
I'd like to explore what we could do together.
All charitable donations from this campaign benefit Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO).
THE GREAT WORLD RACE / NOVEMBER 15–21, 2026
Every day for seven days, I'll run another marathon on a different continent.
The physical challenge is extraordinary. But the larger purpose is straightforward: use this race to bring attention and resources to veterans facing homelessness.
I get to choose the difficulty of running around the world. Too many veterans are facing a far more serious challenge they never chose.
The finish line isn't the point. What we make possible beyond it is.
NO VETERAN SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND.
NO VETERAN SHOULD BE HOMELESS.
This journey started with running. It's become an opportunity to bring people and organizations together around something bigger.
CHARITABLE BENEFICIARY
VEO is an Atlanta-based nonprofit helping veterans work toward stability through housing resources, wellness services, and employment readiness.

vigilant-torch.orgVEO is the designated charitable beneficiary. Vigilant Torch supports the campaign as a mission partner.
Understand the Full MissionEvery organization has different resources, people, and capabilities. There isn't one right way to support this mission. What matters is finding a way to make a meaningful contribution.
01
Make a charitable contribution to support VEO's work helping veterans facing homelessness.
Make a Corporate Donation02
Create a corporate matching initiative that encourages employees to give. Your organization chooses the matching cap and campaign dates.
Discuss a Matching Campaign03
Invite employees to take part during race week. Teams can run, walk, or roll, individually or together, and a seven-mile team challenge is a simple, inclusive goal. Your organization can also launch an employee fundraising effort tied to the VEO campaign.
Organize a Company Team04
Not every meaningful contribution is financial. Organizations may have relevant capabilities in transportation, production, technology, communications, equipment, event support, fundraising infrastructure, or community outreach. Practical proposals that advance the campaign or its fundraising are welcome.
Propose a PartnershipSupport for campaign execution is separate from charitable gifts to VEO.
I'm not looking to collect corporate names on a webpage. I'm looking for organizations willing to help create real momentum behind this mission.
That might mean mobilizing employees, matching contributions, providing useful resources, or helping more people understand why veteran homelessness deserves attention.
What partnership could look like, depending on fit and agreement
These are possible formats, not guaranteed benefits. Any branding, logo use, or promotional deliverables require separate written approval.
Charitable support
Corporate gifts, matched donations, and employee fundraising contributions intended for the cause go to Veterans Empowerment Organization through its verified charitable donation arrangements.
Campaign partnership
In-kind resources, commercial sponsorship, and operational support for the race campaign are handled separately through an appropriate partnership agreement.
Campaign partners do not control the distribution of donations to VEO.
Understand the Full MissionI'd welcome the opportunity to understand what your organization cares about, what resources you might be able to contribute, and whether there's a meaningful way to work together.
The race starts November 15. If there's a way to help veterans through this campaign, I'd like to explore it.
