About the Travis Manion Foundation
The Travis Manion Foundation is named for Travis Manion, a Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant who grew up until age ten in the Mount Vernon/Fort Hunt/Alexandria area, attended Hollin Meadows Elementary School, played sports with Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, was known for his leadership, character and courage and lived by the motto, “If Not Me, Then Who…” Travis was killed by a sniper in Iraq in 2007, while bravely assisting two of his fellow Marines to safety during an ambush. Today, in addition to the 9/11 Heroes Run Race series, the TMF is working with the next generation of leaders in our Communities with Character Development in High Schools, with sports teams, Police Explorers and numerous other organizations. TMF also helps survivors of fallen heroes with Expeditions to get them out of their grief and sharing a bond with others who have lost loved ones in the wars since 9/11.
