The United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region's Pull the Tank event is a high-energy, community-wide strength challenge that brings teams together to haul a massive, 120,000-pound World War II Sherman tank and flatbed across the line in a battle for the fastest time. Designed to celebrate teamwork and resilience, this signtaure event pits local businesses, community groups, and everyday heroes against the clock in a fun competitive show of strength. Most importantly, money raised directly supports local military veterans by funding essential services such as housing assistance, mental health care, legal support, and emergency relief to empower those who have served.
