Pulling Together for Veterans
On June 7, 2026, teams and supporters filled Clifton Avenue for the 16th Annual Knights of Columbus and Catholic Charities Army Tank Pull. The rain-or-shine fundraiser challenged each team to work together to move an 80,000-pound tank.
Every pull represented more than strength. The event raised awareness and support for veterans while bringing neighbors, service organizations, and community partners together around a shared mission.
A Community Effort
From the teams on the rope to the volunteers and spectators lining the route, the day showed what is possible when a community pulls in the same direction.
NJ SOS Veteran Stakeholders was proud to join the organizations and supporters who made the annual event a meaningful day of service, connection, and support for New Jersey veterans.
