Attend Events. Get Involved.
Chapters of the The Joshua Chamberlain Society host various fundraising events throughout the year. In addition, we also periodically host events sponsored by generous donors. These events are an opportunity for you to get involved, give, and meet our heroes. Check this page periodically for upcoming events!
Are you biking across the country? Are you running a marathon this year? Are you hosting a fundraiser in your area? If you are looking to fund-raise within your community to give back to our nation’s veterans, and their families, then the Joshua Chamberlain Society is the perfect organization for you. If you would like to support a current fundraiser, all of our active campaigns are listed below. If you are interested in starting a new campaign, please contact us at info@chamberlainsociety.org with all of the details.

Don Forth “Coast 2 Coast” Ride
St. Louis
Don Forth has decided to blaze his own trail this year and do a 3,300 mile solo, unsupported bicycle ride from Santa Monica, CA to Yorktown, VA.
He will be following old Route 66 starting at the Pacific ocean, crossing California, the Mojave Desert, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and up into Missouri where he will pick up USBR 76 and continue across Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia to the Atlantic ocean ( 9 states in total).
There will be no support vehicles following Don. He will need to closely manage his food and water supply to not run out as there are long stretches with no access to food or water. He will be totally reliant on his own planning ability. His lodging will mainly consist of sleeping in a bivvy under the stars!
Don will be traveling light to allow for riding around 150 – 200 miles a day, which means just the clothes on his back and rain gear for inclement weather.
