Community connections create opportunities.

Today, Hero’s Encore is at Charles Schwab’s Emergency Preparedness Fair, joining mental health organizations, law enforcement, fire, safety groups, and other community resources connecting with Schwab employees.

We’re especially grateful to Jacy Botsord, who introduced Hero’s Encore to the Schwab team and recommended that they invite us to participate.

That introduction put us in a room where hundreds of employees can learn about our mission, meet our team, and discover ways to support Veterans and First Responders through music, connection, and purpose.

This is what community partnership looks like—and we’re glad to be here.

From Isolation to Impact. From Peer to Performer.

This September, we recognize the firefighters who show up when their communities need them most.

Behind the gear are people who train, serve, sacrifice and carry experiences most of us will never fully understand.

At Hero’s Encore, our mission includes First Responders because purpose, creativity and connection matter beyond the uniform.

Through music, we create a place to learn, create, connect with others and discover what might come next.

Today, Hero’s Encore had the honor of providing music for the National Heart of the Nation Walk, honoring Cpl. Daegan Page and the 12 other U.S. service members killed at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021.

This day holds special meaning for Hero’s Encore. The Corporal Daegan Page Foundation funded two Heroes through our full nine-month program, and we were grateful for the opportunity to give back in the way we know best—through music.

We joined Daegan’s family, friends, and community in carrying forward his memory while remembering all 13 and the families who carry their loss.

For Daegan. For all 13. We remember.

Today, nearly 200 marchers set out from Lincoln on a 50-mile, 22+ hour journey in support of veterans.

Every mile carries an impact that reaches far beyond the finish line.

Hero’s Encore is proud to be a grant recipient of the 50 Mile March Foundation. Their investment in local veteran-serving organizations helps make programs like ours possible — creating opportunities for connection, creativity, and renewed purpose.

To every marcher taking that first step today: we’re cheering you all the way home.

Thank you, 50 Mile March Foundation, for what you do for our veteran community and for believing in the work of Hero’s Encore.

We’ll see you at the finish line.

A nonprofit is more than an organization. It’s people choosing to show up for a purpose bigger than themselves.

On National Nonprofit Day, we recognize the Heroes, volunteers, instructors, donors, partners, and community members who make the work of Hero’s Encore possible.

Together, we’re helping Veterans, Transitioning Service Members, and First Responders rediscover identity, purpose, and belonging after service.

Purpose doesn’t end. It evolves.

Learn more, volunteer, or give at herosencore.org.
