This is a night of giving back, fun, and inspiration. Thank you to the many people who team to make it possible and for our sponsors who underwrite this event. 100% of proceeds from this event go direct to mission due to these companies who lead out in generosity.

It takes a village and we are proud to have these amazing companies as a part of ours! Cheers to making a true difference in the lives of those who serve. October 17th can’t come soon enough!

Big shout out to Nick (SF Training Manager) and Scott (Master Level Trainer) for inspiring the crowd at the 1st Responder Conferences in Delaware.

They shared from our Bridging the Gap curriculum which helps those who serve as First Responders keep their relationships strong, at home and work.

We are honored to be a part of this special event!

25 years ago, thousands of families lives changed in a moment. In the midst of unimaginable chaos, first responders ran toward the danger without hesitation and many of them, never returned.

Today, we pause.

Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost and the first responders who gave their all, in the midst of fear and uncertainty, to try to save others.

We will never forget.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. Su***de is a very real threat for those who serve. As we have worked with heroes over the past almost two decades, we have seen the stark reality of this epidemic in hero communities. The weight of service can quickly become too much to bear. As a community that cares, we can make a difference by noting the signs.

Here’s how:
1. Check in often on your friends who serve.
2. Team with organization like us who provide resources for heroes.
3. Show up when someone pulls back and ask questions. Be watchful.
4. Know where to send someone should crisis arise.  If you or someone you know are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help immediately. Call 988.

Research shows gratitude is the single most consistent predictor of marital happiness. A study from the University of Georgia Research News indicates that feeling appreciated directly boosts satisfaction, commitment, and stability. Gratitude toward your partner even acts as a protective buffer against divorce during times of conflict.

Have them in mind? Text them, call them, or run and find them and tell them how you feel.
