+ Warriors at Heart
Local military support club Warriors at Heart needs members to help volunteer at upcoming events.
The group organizes many events in the Tampa Bay area, including upcoming races coming up. The Run for the Fallen will be held Sept. 7 and 8, in Tampa. Members of Warriors at Heart volunteer for both days.
The club also is putting together a team for a race Oct. 19, in Dade City. Warriors at Heart needs at least 10 volunteers to sign up. For every volunteer, the team raises $25.
Warriors at Heart was started by Sharon Flowers and her younger cousin, Megan Flowers, 10. They wanted to help veterans and active duty servicemen in need. In addition to the races, the club has joined Wreaths Across America and also is raising money for the Special Olympics.
