The Jan Dils Foundation

Jan Dils, CEO, and Chuck Hughes, CFO, of Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, have always had a desire to help fill the financial gap for those in need. From supporting events to raise money to provide mammograms for eligible local women in 2017 to hosting the yearly Freedom Fun Run 5K to benefit several Veterans causes, their events and donations have helped many residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley and others in need.

Jan and Chuck established the Jan Dils Foundation in 2018 to ensure their many efforts continue for generations to come. The Foundation’s current focus is on helping Veterans organizations — some of the current beneficiaries are Operation Transportation, We Have Your Six – Parkersburg Division, and the WVU Parkersburg Scholarship Program for Veterans.

The Foundation is grateful to the many staff members at Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, who volunteer their time and efforts to make sure the events run smoothly. Their work, plus generous donations from sponsors, continues to make an enormous impact on the Mid-Ohio Valley community.

Jan Dils Attorneys at Law was thrilled to announce the return of our Freedom Fun Run 5k! Unfortunately, we were not able to host the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 Pandemic to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved. For 2021, The Jan Dils Foundation was excited to host this event virtually in order to keep everyone safe and socially distanced. We are thrilled to declare that our 2021 virtual Freedom Fun Run 5K was a huge success – raising over $25,000.

Freedom Fun Run 5K

In keeping with our commitment to support the men and women who have fought for our country is more important than ever before. Held annually since 2019, apart from 2020 (due to COVID-19), the Jan Dils Foundation has hosted the Freedom Fun Run 5K. 100% of the proceeds from this event benefit Operation Transportation, We Have Your Six – Parkersburg Division, as well as WVU Parkersburg Scholarship for Veterans Recipients.

“We hear the sacrifices Veterans have made and the sacrifices their families have had to make, and we wanted to do something to honor them.” – Jan Dils
