Support Event

Beautify South Tucson

June 01, 2019

08:30 AM - 12:00 PM MST

Tucson Platoon

Event overview

Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to come together and honor those who have fallen in service to our nation. We can honor their legacy by continuing to serve our nation even after we have taken off our uniforms. South Tucson is a close knit community with a lot of great people who call it home. There are dozens of Vietnam War veterans, and families who have lost sons and daughters for America. We have an opportunity to support them and join their efforts to beautify their neighborhood. Mission 1: We are going to clean up some abandoned properties. Unfortunately, there are people who continue to illegally dump their junk in South Tucson. We can fix that! Mission 2: We are going to help some neighbors with their yards. Many elderly and disabled people live in South Tucson; we can help them catch up on the heavy lifting. Mission 3: Plant wildflower seeds. A simple way to add on-going beauty to the neighborhood! Mission 4: Have a great time. We will have a BBQ, and get to know each other. Join us in continuing to serve our fellow Americans.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
