SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – (October 3, 2017) – The inaugural California Warrior Experience, slated for Friday & Saturday, March 23-24, 2018 at Camp San Luis Obispo military base, has announced the #CaliforniaWarrior campaign and its October “Are You a California Warrior?” contest for a chance to be featured as a California Warrior and to win free entries. This unique event, produced in partnership by Race SLO and The California Military Department, invites people to share their personal California stories of triumph, overcoming obstacles, selfless service or reaching health & fitness goals.
“What is a #CaliforniaWarrior? As a campaign, #CaliforniaWarrior celebrates all who champion California values. There are people from all walks of life doing incredible things for our state everyday. It's your California Military Department flipping the script and thanking the rest of California for their service. #CaliforniaWarrior showcases what’s possible when others, who are passionate about service & community, team up with a fresh, inspired military,” said Carl Trujillo, Acting Director, California Military Department Foundation.
