Our STL 22Mohawks Family are hosting their 2nd Annual St. Louis Operation Mohawk Medevac Ruck and Team Litter Carry Event on Sunday, September 14, 2025, along the beautiful Katy Trail in Augusta, MO.
The St. Louis Operation Mohawk Medevac Event is a 4-mile ruck or team litter carry to raise awareness and money for the 22Mohawks organization. Litter carry activities have been designed to be similar to military medevac training. Medevac operations involve units of rescuers entering a zone to recover an injured person from a dangerous area. The team places a person on a stretcher (litter) and takes turns carrying the individual from the zone to safety. Often, the rescuers are carrying more than just the stretcher which makes this type of activity especially challenging.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural carry, we’re offering sponsorship opportunities to you and your organization to help us host an even bigger event this year and reach an ambitious fundraising goal of $10k in support of 22Mohawks.
22Mohawks, a 501c3 non-profit based in Sharon, MA, is doing fantastic work to support veterans and first responders. They are dedicated to reducing the number of veteran and first responder suicide through a blend of outreach, mental fitness classes, and community events along with two core programs, the 22Mohawks Pups for Vets & First Responders and the 22Mohawks Airborne Operations Course and Retreat.
Reach out to Anne 314-537-3979 if you are interested in becoming a sponsor, volunteer or any questions.

We achieve this through a blend of mental fitness classes, outreach, and community events, along with our two core programs:?
Our mission and commitment to veterans and first responders is: “Together, we will succeed.”?
We anchor on three core values:?

?Courage—?to carry on despite overwhelming pain or fear?

We operate as the point of contact for our service members when they return home from duty or for those who have been home and become lost and for our first responders who continue to protect us everyday. Our goal is to provide the social and mental support veterans and first responders need while bringing together their loved ones and communities.
