New York, (Nov. 18, 2025) – Hosted by Paine Schwartz Partners (PSP), a global leader in sustainable food chain investing, the Fourth Annual No Obstacles: A Race For The Warriors recently raised $1.4 million for the national nonprofit, Hope For The Warriors (HOPE).
With sponsor support from Morrison Foerster and Lyons Magnus, over 200 participants completed the event on Governors Island featuring a custom Spartan Race which included a 5K, herc hoist, a seven-foot wall and more on the obstacle course.
Proceeds from the event support Hope For The Warriors, through a variety of support programs dedicated to restoring a foundation of stability, strength and community for post-9/11 veterans, service members and military families.
“The No Obstacles: A Race For The Warriors is an extraordinary event made possible by the generosity and passion of Paine Schwartz Partners,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Hope For The Warriors. “From the ferry ride to Governors Island to the energy of the Spartan course, every moment reflects a shared commitment to honor and uplift the military community. The enthusiasm, compassion, and genuine support shown by Paine Schwartz Partners and their guests create far more than just financial impact—they inspire awareness, empathy, and hope.”
“For 20 years, HOPE has been breaking down barriers for service members, veterans, and their families. Military families already give so much in service to our nation—they should never have to face obstacles alone. Events like No Obstacles ensure we continue conquering challenges together, building resilience and restoring strength for those who have served.”
Since 2022, No Obstacles: A Race For The Warriors has raised over $3.9 million for Hope For The Warriors and its programs.
“Now in its fourth year, we are humbled by the incredible support and participation of our friends and colleagues in the No Obstacles event, which represents what Hope For The Warriors is working to achieve – no obstacles for veterans and their families,” said Kevin Schwartz, chief executive officer and managing partner of Paine Schwartz Partners. “New York City delivered for us again with access to beautiful Governors Island and a crisp, clear day to challenge ourselves on the Spartan course.
“No Obstacles was designed as a metaphor for overcoming challenges and this year’s course delivered. However, climbing the rope or scaling the wall pales in comparison to what veterans and their families face as real world challenges every day. Robin and her amazing team at HOPE are saving and changing the lives of veterans and we are honored to work together on this important mission.”
