Health4Heroes
Can you feel it?!! Spring is in the air...and Health4Heroes wants to get outside with YOU!
Right now, we're holding a Sunrise Nature walk every Tuesday morning, a Run Group that meets every Wednesday evening for a casual 5k, and a monthly Heart-Healthy Hangout & Hike in partnership with The Heart-J Center at Sylvan Dale Ranch--campfire and good times included. Each of these events are family-friendly for Veterans, First Responders, and a guest!
Health4Heroes is excited to start putting more outdoor events on the calendar. Adventures to look forward to this year will likely include activities like camping, rock climbing, mountain biking, paddle boarding, white water rafting, group hikes, park yoga, and more.
Looking for something different? Join us for activities like retreats, workshops, trivia/game night, family bowling, axe throwing, fishing, service projects, and more. The possibilities are endless!

Featured Event
The Field of Honor®
Over this Memorial Day Weekend 2021, the Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary Club will be featuring a spectacular Field of Honor® American Flag display at Spring Canyon Park, Ft Collins, near Veterans Plaza. Field of Honor®, as well as the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall®, will be on display Thursday 5/29 until Monday 5/31 during daylight hours.
This impressive patriotic tribute will be located near Veteran’s Plaza where you’ll be able to walk among the field of 500 full-sized flags, each with an attached medallion to honor your personal heroes. By purchasing one or more medallions, you’ll be making a special statement to honor anyone who is very special to you: a veteran, active service member, first responder, frontline worker, or any others you’d like to commemorate. Proceeds from this event will benefit Health4Heroes and Rotary Fort Collins Breakfast.

The struggle is real!
