Chief Jim Silvernail Memorial Mud Run

Woodard Cleaning & Restoration is thrilled to announce the Chief Jim Silvernail Memorial Mud Run. The race features The Crusher Race with 100% of the proceeds benefiting The BackStoppers Inc. and Responder Rescue.

Chief Jim Silvernail, former Fire Chief in the St. Louis area and avid supporter of The BackStoppers, recently passed away after becoming ill in March of 2018. As an honorary member of the Woodard family, Woodard is hosting a memorial mud run in his honor.

Woodard is beyond excited to present the Chief Jim Silvernail Memorial Mud Run benefiting The BackStoppers and Responder Rescue. Chief Silvernail was a huge supporter of our First Responders and we want to carry on his passion. The BackStoppers and Responder Rescue are two great organizations who support our fallen heroes. We are eager and excited to honor Chief’s memory and offer our support to these organizations going forward. – Dave Christoff, Chief Revenue Officer
