FUEL VETERANS TO VICTORY
Current Donor Initiatives
Riding Retreat
For the past 10 years, we have helped fund research and treatment, and the findings are clear: one of the most powerful ways to prevent suicide is by strengthening social connections.
This September, we’re hosting a transformative weekend retreat at the in the breathtaking mountains of Utah—bringing together veterans, and the civilians who support them, for an unforgettable experience of healing, adventure, and connection. (Event details found here).
At the heart of this retreat is the open road. Through group motorcycle rides winding through stunning mountain landscapes, participants will find freedom, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose. Riding together fosters trust, deepens bonds, and creates a shared experience that goes beyond words.
Beyond the ride, the retreat offers a peaceful space to step away from daily stresses, connect with like-minded individuals, and gather provided valuable mental health resources. These resources are designed not just for those in need, but also to equip members of our community to better support their loved ones.
Your financial support makes this possible. Donations directly help cover lodging, meals, and expenses for military veterans attending the retreat—ensuring they can participate at any cost level they can afford. Every dollar helps create a life-changing experience for those who have served.
Donate today and help a veteran find healing, connection, and hope.
Care Packages
Surplus donations and proceeds from our annual fundraising ride will help us create and distribute mental health care packages for military veterans in the motorcycling community.
