Celebrate Sugar Bear's Life and Honor His Legacy of Service

IMG_20180803_081029_108.jpg

Today we celebrate Sugar Bear's life and honor his legacy of service. Ten years later we know he would be happy as we continue to give back and focus on areas that were important to him with scholarships, internships, workshops, and a new financial program that will help us assist more families. We will continue to share his life and story as a means of raising awareness and support for Gold Star spouses and children. His spirit lives on in all that we do as we grow this very important mission.

A Message from Sugar Bear's Son About The Virtual Memorial Run

This clip of Sugar Bear's son is from a few years ago but the message is still the same. We hope you will join us as your support goes towards Marines, Gold Star spouses, and children. 

Run, walk, bike, or swim 10 miles in your own area on July 22nd to honor the memory of LtCol Mario “Sugar Bear” Carazo. LtCol Carazo made the ultimate sacrifice on July 22, 2010 when his AH-1W Cobra was shot down while supporting Marines engaged in a firefight in Afghanistan. Proceeds benefit the Sugar Bear Foundation.

Help us honor our hero while raising funds for Gold Star families. Your support enables us to provide programs and services for Gold Star spouses and children while continuing Sugar Bear's legacy of service. If you are interested in helping us share information about the Virtual Run or have a specific way to support, please reach out to Admin@thesugarbearfoundation.org.
