Texans United for Freedom (TUFF) is a local 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the purpose of raising funds for, bringing awareness to, and honoring our veterans, active military, and first responders. TUFF's sole purpose is to give back to those who give so much to us through social events and the support of other local organizations that further our goals and positively impact the lives of our
local veterans and first responders. Here are some of the ways we support our veterans and first responders:
COOKING4COURAGE: A fun annual event to raise funds for, bring awareness to, and honor our veterans, active military, and first responders. Attendees enjoy delicious BBQ, guest speakers, food & craft vendors, a co****le tournament, the TUFF Kids Cook-off, and live and silent auctions. Proceeds go toward PTSD recovery, re-acclamation, and employment as a civilian and other local Veteran/First Responder supported causes.

BOOTS 2 BADGES: ο»ΏBoots2Badegs is an employment-focused scholarship program that provides returning veterans an opportunity to become a first responder. Through financial assistance, recipients can attend a local fire academy, emergency medical technician program, or police academy to train for a lifelong and meaningful career. The program also offers re-acclamation resources and employment support so that upon graduation, these veterans will be gainfully employed right here in Montgomery County.
