On Oct. 23 and 24, 2024, the Wiesbaden High School Warrior Battalion organized a PT-A-Thon to raise funds for their upcoming Dining In event, fostering camaraderie and community support. The event saw participation from the 102nd Signal Battalion, which helped keep track of each cadet’s performance throughout the challenge.

Cadets solicited pledges from family, friends, and community members, contributing to the battalion’s fundraising efforts. Participants engaged in a series of physical challenges designed to test their strength, endurance, and teamwork. Scorekeepers meticulously recorded points for each cadet as they completed the tasks.

Cadet Alejandro Rios Cuellar spoke about the significance of the fundraiser, stating, “It allows us to continue doing what we are doing, support our community, and it builds a sense of team and unity.” The event not only aimed to raise funds but also strengthened the bonds among cadets and their supporters.

The funds raised will directly support the Dining In event, a long-standing tradition that encourages fellowship and highlights the values of leadership and service within the battalion.
