State President 2026-2027

2026–2027 State Presidents Theme:

M.O.V.E. Motivate Others Via Example.

Leadership is not just about what we say—it’s about what we do.

This year, F.S.C.A.R.’s theme is M.O.V.E. – Motivate Others Via Example. The theme M.O.V.E. encourages C.A.R. members to lead through action by staying active, working together, and serving others. This theme promotes leadership, healthy habits, and meaningful service while supporting the mission of the Children of the American Revolution.

2026-2027 State President Project: 

Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch Memorial Park

This year’s Florida State Presidential project aims to raise $5,000 to support the Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch Memorial Park.

The Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch provides veterans with a place to heal, rebuild, and rediscover their strength after life-changing injuries. Through adaptive sports, recreation, and a strong sense of community, veterans are empowered to move forward with hope, purpose, and connection. 

Their Memorial Park project honors veterans who have served our country and reflects their resilience, perseverance, and patriotism. It’s more than a park—it’s a place where warriors and their families find strength together. 

The M.O.V.E. theme and the Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch Memorial Park project provide an opportunity for C.A.R. members across Florida to stay active, serve others, honor veterans, and lead by example while strengthening the mission and values of the Children of the American Revolution

How You Can Get Involved:

C.A.R. members across Florida can support this project by:

• Participating in fitness challenges and sports activities
• Hosting fundraisers and service projects
• Working together within their societies to stay active and engaged

When members take action, they bring the M.O.V.E. theme to life.
