Keep It In The Air Foundation

A little update — and if you’re new here, hi 🤍

We’re heads down right now on all the behind-the-scenes stuff — the admin, the paperwork, the building blocks that have to exist before we can do this the right way.

Quick note on who we are: while veterans hold a really special place in our mission, Keep It In The Air is for anyone. Anyone fighting mental health battles, grieving, struggling with addiction, dealing with PTSD, or just feeling like there’s nowhere to turn. That’s who we’re here for.

For now, we’ve got some resources linked in our bio that we hope can help in the meantime. And if you want to support what we’re building right now, grabbing a bag of coffee from Giving Grounds Coffee this month is a direct way to do that ☕️

We are so close to being ready to really show up for this community. We can’t wait. 🩵

Alexa, play Ain’t It Fun by Paramore. Awareness is great but let’s talk about the real root of the problem.

We’ve received questions about how to donate or contribute to the cause & right now you can order coffee from .groundscoffee !

Something really special is happening...

We are so incredibly honored to partner with Giving Grounds Coffee for the month of May.

Giving Grounds is more than just coffee. As a family-owned nonprofit, they believe every person has a purpose and the ability to shine in any season of life. They’ve created a space where people can connect, grow, and find that purpose — while also supporting local organizations and pouring back into the community with every cup.

For the month of May, Giving Grounds Coffee will be supporting Keep It In The Air. Every coffee purchase will go directly to KIITA — helping us continue the mission Tanner and I dreamed of: providing real support, resources and access to mental health care for veterans and young adults who need it the most.

We’ll also be hosting a few pop ups this month (this Saturday being the first 🩵) & we would love to see you there!

This is what it looks like when community shows up for something bigger than all of us. 🫶🏻

The beach ball is more than a moment or a memory. It's living purpose.

Before the weight of the world found its way in, there was a simple, lighthearted moment - two kids at the gym, a smile, and a nickname that stuck. "Beach ball." It became a symbol of joy, connection, and a kind of love that never really leaves.

Keep It In The Air exists in honor of Tanner, a veteran who carried battles many never saw, and a heart that left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

This nonprofit exists to stand in the gap - for those who are struggling, for those who feel unseen, and for those who need someone to reach back.

We're here to offer support, resources, and hope to anyone walking through their own silent battles.

This is for Tanner, and for every person who needs to know they're not alone.

For veterans and young adults fighting PTSD, bipolar disorder, and addiction — we're here to help you keep going.

If you or someone you love needs help, please reach out. We're here.
