Three weeks until the first pitch! The fields are waiting, the mission is strong, and the excitement is building. 🔥🥎

There is still time to register, plan a family outing, or make a gift in support of Minnesota veteran and military organizations.

Supports, donors, and prayer warriors: A Marine family is facing the unimaginable loss of a child.

We are working to support this family through this devastating time, and we are asking our community to come alongside them. If you are able, please make a donation to help provide support and ease some of the burden this family is facing while they grieve.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us continue showing up for our military families when they need it most.

❤️ Donate. Share. Support.
Together, we can help carry some of the weight.

Bill's Wish is committed to advocating at all levels for all military veterans and their families. Veteran Mental Health Support

ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY:

We have 4 SEATS remaining! If you are a local veteran and interested in a T-6 aircraft ride on October 3rd, please reach out to [email protected]. These seats were graciously sponsored by MGC Remodeling, so there is no added cost to fly. Passengers must weigh under 225 pounds and be able to climb into the aircraft from the wing. It’s an experience of a lifetime provided at our Carry the Light- a Celebration of Life Event for MN Veteran Su***de Prevention & Awareness Day

A great example of why we exist as a non-profit. Our goal is to provide privatized mental health and chemical health options for Veterans in lieu of the VA.

We believe our soldiers deserve the BEST healthcare money can buy in order to live a healthy and happy life.

A Twin Cities metro mother blames the Minneapolis VA Medical Center for her son's su***de.

Marine veteran Allen Giller died less than four hours after leaving the Medical Center in 2022. His mother has filed a federal civil lawsuit. According to court documents, the VA denies the allegations. | Link to full story in the comments.
