Stories Behind the Mission · Story 03

Honoring a Hero. Investing in the Next Generation.

This fall, Children of Fallen Heroes will host the Whitaker Memorial Shoot on our 82-acre campus in Vass, North Carolina.

Whitaker’s sons — one serving as a firefighter, the other an avid outdoorsman and archer.

The event honors the life and legacy of Whitaker, a dedicated firefighter from Moore County, while celebrating the strength of his family. We first met Melissa and the boys through our indoor skydiving program years ago. Today, one son serves his community as a firefighter, while the other continues his passion for the outdoors and archery.

Through an 18-hole 3D archery course, families, volunteers, and supporters will come together to remember a hero, support youth, and create lasting memories.

Volunteers, sponsors, coaches, and participants are invited to help make this special event possible.
