Lodi, NJ - University Donation Ruck

Join Travis Manion Foundation and Felician University for the 5th annual Felician University Ruck March.

We'll gather at 9:00 a.m. at the front of Albin Obal Hall on the Lodi campus for sign-in and t-shirt distribution. At 10:00 a.m., we'll step off for the approximately 3-mile ruck march from Lodi campus to the Rutherford campus, escorted by local police and campus security.

Participants are asked to fill their rucksacks with non-perishable food items that will be donated to the American Legion to support local veterans. Light refreshments will be provided at the completion of the march.

Following the ruck march, join us at 11:30 a.m. for the Annual Felician University Veterans Day Celebration in Education Commons on the Rutherford Campus-a meaningful tribute to those who have served our nation.

What to pack in your rucksacks:

  • Canned goods (vegetables, fruit, tuna, chicken, soups)

  • Pasta, rice, and grains

  • Peanut butter and jelly

  • Cereal and oatmeal

  • Coffee

  • Shelf-stable meals

This is a powerful way to honor our veterans through service while supporting those who continue to serve their communities.

This project will honor the life and legacy of Sgt Michael C. Roy, USMC.
