Jose Garcia Aponte, along with his former wife Maribel Garcia, came up with the idea for Operation Giveback for Wounded Warriors Inc (OGB). Jose is a retired US Army Command Sergeant Major who served almost 30 years in the Army. He said that their idea to develop OGB was their way of giving back to their commUNITY. 

 “The Army to me wasn’t a job, it was a dream. I have a passion for the military,” said Garcia-Aponte. He stated that one of his mentors, CSM Larry Taylor, told him one day: ”Troop, Soldiers are serious business”. Jose never forgot those wise words.  

Truth be told, OGB was born after he and Maribel saw the Oprah Winfrey TV Show “America’s Bravest Family” in which a lady by the name of Teresa Arciola told her story of how she drove 5 hours one way to see her son’s grave (US ARMY Specialist Michael Arciola) in Arlington National Cemetery “Section 60”. Her story was raw and in your face, and Jose said it broke his heart. It was during that TV show in January 2011 that the seed was planted. 

     

The seed took root following Jose’s own Oncology visit. It was there in the doctor’s office parking lot that Jose decided to stop running from what he knew must be done. He and Maribel settled into their hearts that something had to be done. It was at the end of that Oprah show in January that Ms. Winfrey challenged her audience to do something in their commUNITY to support our Veterans.  On 14 May 2011 the Inaugural Operation Giveback 5/10k run.walk.roll & Warrior Kids Race was born. They expected 200-500 people, but on event day, 1080 individuals came to the beautiful grounds of the UCF Campus to show their support and respect for our heroes. 

OGB wanted to set itself apart from other organizations and events. One of the characteristics that made the OGB event so unique was that it not only supported the Wounded Warriors but their families as well. It was decided from that initial event that they would sponsor all expenses paid vacations for four Active Duty Wounded Warriors, and their families to travel to Orlando, FL for the weekend of the event. Additionally, the OGB run.walk.roll event is set apart from other organizations' events because it focused on making the event a family-oriented day. Home Depot was the sponsor for the Kids Corner with two inflatables and over seven games for the kids. And the parents had a great time.

A third way that OGB is different from other events is that they host a Wounded Warriors and Sponsor Appreciation Dinner designed to show their appreciation for their contributions to the cause. At the inaugural event, Retired Major General Ron Johnson, Vice President of the National Basketball Referees Association (at that time), was the Keynote Speaker. Throughout the year many other amazing individuals like Tom Ziglar, Howard Partridge, and Billy Cox have shared their appreciation and wisdom at our appreciation dinner.

A  fourth way that OGB makes a tangible difference was born after the founders watched a news video about Arlington National Cemetery Section 60, which inspired the development of a new program under the OGB Umbrella. It was named OGB Section 60. Under this program, they now have two projects: the OGB Christmas Gift Project (providing Christmas gifts for Fallen Heroes' Children), and the OGB Making Dreams Come True Project. Such a program was developed to make a positive difference in the lives of our Fallen Heroes' Families: the widows and the children we have inherited from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Thanks to the generosity of our local commUNITY, as well as renowned motivational speaker Mr. Zig Ziglar, who made his voice heard by sponsoring the Warrior and family from Ft Hood, TX, OGB was able to make a significant difference in the lives of Active-Duty Families as well as Retired Wounded Warriors and families that traveled to our event. Thanks to many local sponsors we are able to cover all of our expenses and donate to organizations that support our mission statement: to raise awareness and resources for our Wounded Warriors and their families, and the children of our Fallen Heroes. As Maribel shared, none of this would have been possible if it had not been for the tremendous support of our countless volunteers from schools, churches, the Boy Scouts, and to everyday people.

What started as an idea just to do something to add value to their local commUNITY has taken off! As Jose likes to say: when a baby is born, they learn to crawl, walk, and run. As the good book so clearly declared that “everything under the sun has an expiration date” hence, Operation Giveback went thru a rebranding to include the expansion of its mission statement which now includes the commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of abused and neglected children, women of domestic abuse, abandoned seniors, homeless veterans, and seniors devastated by a natural disaster. In 2018, Jose established Project Giveback, Inc (PGB) www.pgb1.org, and since Team PGB has dedicated its efforts to making a tangible difference in the lives of those hurting. Today, what started as a Godly idea continues to keep its initial mandate to love, inspire, and make a profound difference, one individual at a time.

Jose continues to stand in the philosophy of his childhood hero who stated that "Any time you have an OPPORTUNITY to make a DIFFERENCE in the world and you DON'T, then you are WASTING YOUR TIME ON EARTH"-Roberto Clemente

PGB Christmas Gift Project was born as a direct result of our founder's desire to bless our fallen heroes’ children and remind them that their heroes' sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Most of us remember waiting for Christmas morning with great anticipation and excitement, wondering what was under our Christmas tree. Unfortunately, every child does not get the opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas, especially in the wake of a fallen hero not being there. It is a struggle for parents and children to see the beauty of Christmas without their hero. Thanks to our supporters, our volunteers, and wonderful sponsors and friends of PGB have allowed us to renew if only for a moment the joy of Christmas to children and parents across the United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. 

Every time a sponsor supports our events and each time a runner registers it is bringing hope to local families of Fallen heroes in our commUNITY as well as across the nation. Christmas is a time of giving, a time to remember those who we love and reach out to those who are in need. PGB would like to thank all of you for helping us fulfill our mission of never forgetting the sacrifice of our service men and women and their families. Each year we serve as many family members as our budget allows us to serve. We are proud to announce that some of the proceeds from the PGB GOLD STAR RUN Huntsville Edition will be invested in supporting the 2023 PGB Christmas Gift Project. We would like to increase our numbers and turn away no family or child of a fallen hero or wounded warrior. 

Please sponsor an event or donate at www.pgb1.org we thank you for opening your heart to such a profound initiative.

Aloha family, our founder believes that a dog is a man's best friend, right?

 

We contend that in reality, a dog is a runner's best friend. Think about it. As happy as he is to see you when you come home, isn't he even happier when he sees that leash?

 

For those of you who have never taken your dog out for a jog, you're seriously missing out (and so is your pooch)!

 

Run for Her "I LOVE CRASH BOAT", is a dog friendly event, for the 2025 edition we are welcoming the first 30 dogs to participate in the 5K with their owners.

 

5 Reasons to Run with Your Dog. (by Kelsey Sharon)

 

In hopes to convince you to make your best friend your new running buddy, here are five reasons why running with your dog is the best idea.

 

1. They give you an excuse to take a break.

Dogs aren’t the best at planning their day. They’re more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants, do-whatever-they-want-when-the-fancy-strikes kinda animal. Because of their lack of foresight, they inevitably must poop during the run. This habit gives you a convenient excuse to take a break while you wait for them to finish their biz. Any break is always welcome – or maybe that’s just me.

2. They push (aka pull you) on the run.

I don’t know about you, but my dog is faster than me…by like a lot – a lot, a lot. I’ve run some of my fastest splits with her because she constantly wants to go, go, go. There’s no excuse to stop with a steam engine propelling you forward.

3. They motivate you to start.

My pup is one smart pooch. She knows which shoes are my running shoes and which are for grocery-store runs. She’s also gotten to the point where she can hear me getting ready in my room and waits for me at the bottom of the stairs. The problem (for me at least) comes when she thinks I’m getting ready for a run when I’m not. I’ll come down the stairs to an excited pup and…no running shoes…. Sad dogs are the pits, so I’ll get the right shoes and take her for a run after all.

4. They make you meet new people (and dogs).

My pup has beautiful coloring (the most beautiful in my mind). People are forever stopping me to ask me what kind of dog she is. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve met because of her!

5. Finally, they make it fun.

There is nothing more fun than a happy puppy. After every run, there she is – tongue out, enjoying’ the wind from the open window of my car as we drive home. I’m unashamed to say I’m firmly in the “cat-person” camp, but when it comes to my runs, I need a dog by my side. Life is more fun with a happy-go-lucky attitude like your puppy’s.

 

So, here’s to all the dogs out there hitting the pavement at the "RUN for HER" event with their runner pals. Man’s best friend? Definitely. But a runner’s best friend? Even more so, because who else can identify with that wide-eyed, beauty-seeking attitude of a runner better than a dog? Anyone else run with your dog? What are some of your reasons or your best stories?

Aloha Familia, nuestro fundador cree que un perro es el mejor amigo del hombre, ¿verdad?

 

Sostenemos que, en realidad, un perro es el mejor amigo de un corredor, piénsalo. Tan feliz como está su perro de verte cuando regresas a casa,  el está aún más feliz cuando ve esa correa, con el collar para salir a correr/caminar.

 

Para aquellos de ustedes que nunca han sacado a su perro a correr o caminar, ustedes se lo están perdiendo (y su perro también).

 

Run for Her “I LOVE CRASH BOAT” , es un evento AMIGABLE PARA LOS PERROS. R4H 2025 estará dando la bienvenida a los primeros 30 perros que se registren para participar en el 5K con sus dueños.

5 razones para correr con tu perro. (por Kelsey Sharon )

 

Con la esperanza de convencerte de que hagas de tu mejor amigo tu nuevo compañero de carrera, aquí tienes cinco razones por las que es bueno correr o caminar con tu perro, esto es una de las mejores ideas que puedes considerar.

 

1. Te dan una excusa para tomarte un descanso.

Los perros no son los mejores para planificar tu día. Son más bien un tipo de mascota que se mueve como quieren y cuando quieren y hacen lo que quiere, cuando se le ocurre. Debido a su falta de previsión, inevitablemente ellos harán "POOP" durante la carrera. Este hábito te brinda una excusa conveniente para tomar un descanso mientras esperas a que terminen su necesidad . Así que cualquier descanso siempre es bienvenido.

2. Te empujan (es decir, te empujan a ti) mientras corres o caminas.

 

No sé ustedes, pero mi perro es más rápido que yo... mucho, mucho, mucho. He corrido algunos de mis splits más rápidos con ella porque constantemente quiere ir, ir, ir. No hay excusa para detenerte con una máquina de vapor que te impulsa hacia adelante.

3. Te motivan a empezar.

 

Mi cachorro es un perro inteligente. Ella sabe que zapatos son mis zapatos para correr y cuáles son para ir al supermercado. También ha llegado al punto en el que puede oírme preparándome en mi habitación y esperándome al pie de las escaleras. El problema (al menos para mí) surge cuando ella cree que me estoy preparando para correr, cuando no es así. Bajar las escaleras con un cachorro emocionado y… sin zapatos para correr…. Los perros tristes son un infierno, así que, después de todo, me pongo los zapatos adecuados y la llevaré a correr.

 

4. Te hacen conocer gente (y perros) nuevos.

Mi cachorro tiene un color hermoso (el más hermoso en mi opinión). La gente siempre me detiene para preguntarme qué clase de perro es. ¡No puedo decirte cuántas personas he conocido gracias a ella!

5. Finalmente, lo hacen divertido.

 

No hay nada más divertido que un cachorro feliz. Después de cada carrera, ahí está ella, con la lengua afuera, disfrutando del viento desde la ventana abierta de mi auto mientras conducimos a casa. No me avergüenza decir que estoy firmemente en el campo de los "gatos", pero cuando se trata de correr, necesito un perro a mi lado. La vida es más divertida con una actitud despreocupada como la de tu cachorro.

 

Asi que, saludamos a todos los perros que salen a la acera en el evento "RUN for HER" con sus amigos corredores. ¿Crees qué es el mejor amigo del hombre? Definitivamente. Pero el es el mejor amigo de un corredor, más aún, porque ¿quién más puede identificarse mejor que un perro con esa actitud que tenemos los corredores de siempre buscar lo mejor y más hermoso cuando corremos o caminamos? ¿Alguien más corre con su perro? ¿Cuáles son algunas de tus razones o tus mejores historias?
