Carrying Forward a Legacy of Love: The Annual Wallace L. Umstead Legacy Cookout Returns Sept 11, 2026!

Some legacies are built through titles or accomplishments. Other’s are built through kindness, generosity, and the way someone makes people feel.

The Annual Wallace L. Umstead Legacy Cookout is one of those legacies.

This event was my father Wallace “Wally” Umstead’s idea. He believed our seniors and veterans deserved to be celebrated, appreciated, and surrounded by community. He understood that sometimes the greatest gift we can give is simply showing up, sharing a meal, and reminding someone that they matter.

After his passing, I made a promise to continue what he started.

Each year, the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation gathers in Roxboro, NC to honor that promise. We bring together neighbors, volunteers, community partners, seniors, veterans, and families for an afternoon filled with laughter, music and meaningful connection.

This cookout is more than an event. It is a reminder that a single idea rooted in compassion can continue changing lives for years to come.

As Wallace’s daughter it is one of my greatest honors to carry his vision forward. Every plate served, every smile shared, and every conversation reminds me that his legacy is still making an impact.

We invite our community of volunteers to join us as we celebrate the people who have given us so much. Whether you volunteer with us, partner with us, or simply come to enjoy the day, you become a part of a legacy built on service, gratitude and love.

While my father may have planted the seed, together we are helping it grow.

We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Wallace L. Umstead Legacy Cookout as we continue celebrating our incredible seniors and veterans, one meaningful moment at a time.

At Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation we are deeply committed to honoring the legacy of our Founder’s late Father Wallace L. Umstead a senior and Army Veteran. Inspired by the care and advocacy that he received from his daughter A. Umstead, we are proud to announce our newest service offering the Misstakenid Heroes & Elder Alliance.

Patient advocacy workshops & collaborations

Understanding patient advocacy is crucial, especially for our seniors and veterans who may not have the support they need. Through our workshops and collaborative efforts we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to advocate effectively for their loved ones. Whether you’re new to advocacy or looking to enhance your skills, our sessions will provide valuable insights and practical guidance.

support for seniors

In addition to helping with advocacy training, we are committed to bringing joy and companionship to our seniors. Our volunteers will visit elder care facilities, offering their time and companionship to brighten the days of residents. A friendly conversation, a shared story, or simply a listening ear can make a world of difference.

At Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation we believe in the power of community and the importance of support. Through the Misstakenid Heroes & Elder Alliance, we strive to provide the resources and compassion needed to uplift our seniors and veterans.

Join us in making a difference. Together we can ensure that every senior and veteran receives the care, respect, and happiness they deserve.
