Pushups for Charity’s goal is to have Americans complete 1.4 million pushups and raise $1 million to serve troops through the Boot Campaign, which helps veterans by providing jobs, housing, education, wellness, urgent assistance and family support.
In past years, Pushups for Charity has raised more than $600,000 for the Boot Campaign.
“It doesn’t matter how many you can do or how well you can do them, all that matters is that you come out to push,” said SSgt. Joey Jones (USMC Ret.), Boot Campaign Hero Ambassador. “Pushups for Charity is a fun way to connect communities all over the country with their hometown heroes coming back from war.”
