This Year’s Theme: Legacy in Every Stride

The 2025 Pat’s Run theme, Legacy in Every Stride, pays tribute to three significant eras of Pat’s life — his time as a collegiate athlete at Arizona State University, his career with the Arizona Cardinals, and his service as an Army Ranger. Each step participants take furthers Pat’s legacy of scholarship, humble leadership, service, and impact, while also paving the way for the next 20 years of the Pat Tillman Foundation as we empower future leaders.

20 Years. One Legacy.

In 2002, Pat Tillman proudly put his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals on hold to serve his country. In 2004, Pat’s family and friends started the Pat Tillman Foundation to carry forward that legacy. The Pat Tillman Foundation provides academic scholarships and support to active-duty service members, veterans, and military spouses, helping them reach their fullest potential as leaders—no matter how they choose to serve.

Fundraising efforts from Pat’s Run benefit the Pat Tillman Foundation and the Tillman Scholars program.
