Hundreds Join Carry the Load Memorial Day March in Tampa

AT&T employees joined hundreds of other participants to honor our nation’s heroes at the Carry the Load Memorial Day March in Tampa.

A 5K march along Bayshore Boulevard included participants carrying rucksacks, photos and mementos symbolizing a personal story or load the individual was carrying.

Tampa was one of multiple cities across the country holding a Carry the Load march to honor service members and their families for the sacrifices they make. Carry The Load is a non-profit dedicated to providing meaningful ways to honor and celebrate the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes — military, law enforcement, firefighters and first responders.

For nearly 100 years, AT&T has been dedicated to supporting our nation’s service men and women. To help celebrate and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, AT&T employees joined Carry The Load by participating in the non-profit organization’s national relay across America.

Throughout the month of May, tens of thousands of people walked across the country as part of a Carry the Load relay, carrying the load for military, law enforcement, firefighters and first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting and serving our country. Funds raised support Carry The Load's Continuum of Care Program, which provides direct services to military, law enforcement, fire and rescue personnel, and their families through partnerships with other nonprofits across the country.
