XPO (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight transportation in North America, today announced its sponsorship of the Pat Tillman Foundation’s 20th annual Pat’s Run in Tempe, AZ to raise funds for the Tillman Scholars program. In addition to its sponsorship, XPO employees will volunteer and participate in the run on April 13, 2024 and the company also will provide in-kind donations, including hand carts, gas-powered forklifts and propane tanks needed for the event.

Dr. Katherine Steele, CEO of the Pat Tillman Foundation, said, “We are thrilled to welcome XPO as a sponsor of the 2024 Pat’s Run. For many years, XPO has been advancing the careers of former military personnel in the transportation sector. Our two organizations are committed to furthering leadership, service and opportunities for the people who have given so much to our nation’s defense.”

Tony Graham, president of the West Division at XPO and a U.S. Army and National Guard veteran, said, “We’re proud of our position as an employer of choice for military veterans and soldiers in the Reserves and The National Guard, and we’re pleased to support Pat’s Run and the work of the Pat Tillman Foundation. Nearly 10% of our workforce has a military background and we’re grateful for this opportunity to help advance the Foundation’s work in the community.”

20 years ago, after the passing of Pat Tillman, a group of his family and friends came together to honor his legacy by creating the Pat Tillman Foundation. All the funds raised from this race go toward scholarships and professional development opportunities for nearly 900 Tillman Scholars.
