Veterans affairs

UAB students will honor the legacy of Sept. 11 through service and support by putting together more than 750 care packages for veterans, active service members and first responders.

Now in its third year, the Veterans Day 5K provides much-needed support for student veterans and their dependents for essentials like housing, books and emergency expenses.

The 5K benefits the UAB Veteran Relief Fund, which aids veteran and dependent students with emergency funds for housing, books, medical care and more.
