Chuck Wilson Memorial Backpack for BENCHMARK

Just as a benchmark is a known point that can help us better understand where we are, the annual Backpack for BENCHMARK is a difficult trip to challenge emotional and physical stamina. This experience allows hikers to better understand the way they think, feel, and act in light of Biblical principles. This monumental trip makes a monumental impact by raising funds for BENCHMARK’s Chaplains Partnership Initiative, which encourages Chaplains and serves U.S. Service Members.

Why do we #hikethechuck? The annual Backpack for BENCHMARK became the Chuck Wilson Memorial in 1999, in memory of this Navy Sailor who had a minister’s heart and a mountaineer’s zeal, and experienced God through the beauty of creation. Check out the short video below to learn more about Chuck.
