TEKsystems Sponsors Pat’s Run for the 10th Consecutive Year

TEKsystems and the Pat Tillman Foundation honor Pat Tillman’s life and legacy, empowering future generations of military-connected leaders.

(HANOVER, Md., March 11, 2025) – TEKsystems, a leading provider of business and technology services, announced their sponsorship of the Pat Tillman Foundation’s 21st Annual Pat’s Run, set for Saturday, April 12, 2025. TEKsystems has served as the presenting sponsor for 10 consecutive years, showcasing their dedicated support of the Pat Tillman Foundation’s tentpole event and signature fundraiser.

The Pat Tillman Foundation recognizes remarkable military service members, veterans and spouses as the next generation of leaders. Through academic scholarships, lifelong leadership development, and a global community of peers and supporters, the foundation empowers these individuals to make a meaningful impact as they transition into their next chapter of service beyond self. Pat’s Run pays tribute to Pat Tillman’s legacy and supports Tillman Scholars, who embody his values of scholarship, humble leadership, service and impact.

TEKsystems’ 10-year sponsorship of Pat’s Run is part of the company’s larger commitment to supporting the military-connected community. Since 2013, TEKsystems has helped more than 20,000 individuals pursue their career aspirations in a wide variety of technology-related fields.

“A decade of partnership with the Pat Tillman Foundation is an amazing source of pride for TEKsystems and a testament to our shared core value of serving others,” said Mark Collins, president at TEKsystems. “It’s inspiring to experience the energy at Pat’s Run. Serving as the event’s presenting sponsor embodies our commitment to carrying on Pat Tillman’s legacy.”

Pat’s Run participants will run 4.2 miles through the streets of Tempe, Arizona, finishing on the 42-yard line of Mountain America Stadium, home of the Arizona State Sun Devils. In addition to the main event, younger participants can run or walk in the 0.42-mile Kids Run. Tillman Honor Runs, hosted in partnership with the ASU Alumni Association, are available for those who cannot attend in person but would like to celebrate Pat’s legacy by running in their local communities across the country. Virtual participation in Pat’s Run is also an option.

“It’s been amazing to witness the impact of the Pat Tillman Foundation over the last 21 years, and we’re incredibly grateful for the consistent support TEKsystems has provided over the last 10 years,” said Katherine Steele, CEO of the Pat Tillman Foundation and 2014 Tillman Scholar. “Our partnership is purposeful and shaped through shared values exemplified by Pat Tillman. We look forward to nearly 30,000 walkers and runners uniting at Pat’s Run to reinforce his legacy.”

Meg Cortezi, senior vice president of sales at TEKsystems and member of the Pat Tillman Foundation board of directors, said, “Being a part of Pat’s Run each year is a remarkable experience, and reaching our 10th year as presenting sponsor makes this race extra special. It highlights our ongoing connection to the military community and sincere admiration for Pat Tillman’s legacy of service beyond self.”
