Kruid Foundation Hero Hustle 5K

The Kruid Charitable Foundation, founded 12 years ago by Damon and Danielle Kruid 12 years ago, embodies a commitment to provide, inspire, and empower veterans and their families, extending a helping hand to those in need. The foundation’s impact has been further magnified through initiatives like the Hero Hustle 5k, established six years ago to unite the community and raise funds for various National veteran organizations.

The Hero Hustle has become a symbol of community support, drawing back from residents and passionate organizations alike. As DBK continues to expand, The Kruid Foundation is poised to extend its reach, contributing, assisting, and hosting events to support local veteran charities in the cities where DBK operates. This commitment reflects the Kruid family’s enduring dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of veterans and the broader community.
