If you aren't able to donate towards the flag sponsorship, but would still like to get involved, consider volunteering your time. We would truly appreciate the donation of your time to help set up the flags, volunteer at our Alumni booth, and/or tear down. Shifts are only two hours long, and it is an amazing way to meet new people while helping to educate the community on our organization and its mission, We truly hope that you will consider sponsoring a flag or two or volunteering your time to this worthy cause.

Travis Manion FoundationMy name is Ginny Wagh, Coordinator for the Travis Manion Foundation, a 501(c)3 national veterans service organization. Our focused mission is to empower veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations. We strongly believe that by instilling core values such as service, sacrifice, volunteering, and mentorship, we can positively impact the lives of children and nurture their potential. Our leadership team at TMF is comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds and skill sets, all united by a common passion for serving others. We firmly believe that combining our character strengths can create meaningful and sustainable change for children who need it most. TMF currently has an active Chapter led by veterans and inspired civilians working within the Columbus area. I’d like to expand to the Cleveland metropolitan area to include activations from veterans, families of the fallen, first responders, and inspired civilians who are looking for a way to engage and inspire youth in their communities.
Whether it's through mentorship programs, educational initiatives, or resource-sharing, there are countless avenues where our partnership can make a difference. I am eager to connect, exchange ideas, and lay the groundwork for a collaborative and impactful partnership. On September 11, 2024, TMF will host a 9/11 Heroes Run 5K race at Edgewater Park, one of 52 races across the country. The race will occur on the evening of 9/11 so that participants may join the opening ceremonies for the Flags of Honor at 12 pm. The event that FBICCAAA has scheduled is a true testament to respect for those who have been lost and those who continue to serve. Working with the City of Cleveland Parks Services, we have been able to secure our 5K route to follow alongside the Flags of Honor so that every person running, walking, rucking, or cheering may see and feel the importance and impact of this date. We hope that you will join us as we continue to honor, showing that we have not forgotten.

In 2005 he created the Fugitive Safe Surrender Program which has led to the peaceful surrender of nearly 60,000 fugitives nationally, and in 2015 he created a Cold Case Unit that tracked down and arrested the longest running fugitive in the history of the United States Marshals Service, captured after 56 years on the run. And in 2020, he created the Missing Child Unit to focus on locating and returning missing and endangered children from our area.
Marshal Elliott has been recognized with numerous national and local awards for his work.
