Past Event: Grand Canyon Memorial Day Hike
May 23-28, 2025
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to take 10 participants — including veterans, active duty, reservist, military family members, and volunteers — on one of the Canyon’s most challenging trails: Grandview. We descended steep, rugged terrain, spent the night on Horseshoe Mesa, witnessed the most amazing sunset and hiked out the next day, stronger in every way.
Along the way, we held intentional trail talks — moments of rest and reflection where we opened God’s Word and explored how Scripture speaks to mental resilience, inner strength, and real hope.
Past Event: Charm at the Farm Fundraiser
June, August, & October 2024
Charm at the Farm in Lebanon, Ohio so graciously invited the Centurion Project to be the Donation Partner for their 2024 season. One dollar of every ticket sold was donated directly to our ministry funds. We had a booth set up for all 3 shows in June, August, and October to provide information about Mission:Hike and the other Centurion Project initiatives. We are so grateful for their generous donation to support veterans and their families of our community!
Past Event: Grand Canyon Rim2River
October 2024
Our inaugural National Park backpacking trip was truly indescribable. The Mission:Hike team was so honored to take a few veterans plus a military family on our 23.8 mile journey through the Grand Canyon. The whole experience was an incredible opportunity to dig into mental resiliency – and the views! Holy cow. There’s nothing like it. The conversations about our mental battles paired with the physical challenge will never be forgotten.
