About Give2Those
GIVE2THOSE is a powerful movement dedicated to showing unwavering appreciation and support for those who selflessly serve our communities. Whether in the armed forces, law enforcement, firefighting, or other public service roles, these brave individuals put their lives on the line daily to protect and care for others.
Through GIVE2THOSE, the public has the opportunity to give back—whether through financial contributions, acts of kindness, or simple words of gratitude. Every effort, no matter how small, makes a tangible difference in the lives of those who sacrifice so much to keep us safe.
More than just an initiative, GIVE2THOSE is a unifying call to action—a way to honor the courageous men and women who exemplify the very best of humanity through their service. Together, we have the power to remind these heroes that their dedication is seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.
Our Mission:
Give 2 Those is dedicated to empowering veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families through innovative recreational therapy programs and essential resources. Our mission is to enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being while fostering resilience, unity, and purpose.
A cornerstone of our mission is Vest Up 4 The Fallen, a powerful movement that brings communities together to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Through commemorative walks, rucks, and awareness campaigns, we preserve their legacy and raise vital support for:
✅ Gold Star & Fallen First Responder Families
✅ Mental Health & Wellness Programs
✅ Assistance for Veterans & First Responders in Need
Together, we ensure that the sacrifices of our heroes are never forgotten by promoting growth, healing, resilience, and a strong sense of community, empowering them to thrive in all aspects of life.
Our Vision:
The mental and emotional well-being of those who serve our communities and country is a critical yet often overlooked issue. GIVE2THOSE is dedicated to addressing the challenges of depression, stress, and anxiety that affect military personnel, first responders, and their families.
Through innovative recreational therapy programs, we provide accessible and impactful outlets that help these heroes process the immense stresses and traumas they face daily. Our initiatives promote physical, mental, and emotional healing—offering support where it's needed most.
We recognize that service extends beyond the individual. Families of military members and first responders face their own unique struggles, from deployments to reintegration challenges. By supporting the entire family unit, we strengthen bonds, improve communication, and foster resilience.
Our mission is clear: to reduce the burden of depression, anxiety, and burnout among our nation’s bravest. Through meaningful programs and unwavering support, we empower them to not only endure but thrive. With every life we touch, we take another step toward a future where their sacrifices are met with the care, compassion, and recognition they deserve.
Our Roots:
Give2Those was born from the Stride and Ride Relay, which was an event held in October to honor the significance of October 7, 2001—the first deployment in the Global War on Terror. This event serves as a powerful tribute, a means of education, and a way to ensure that the sacrifices made in the name of freedom are never forgotten.
We honor not only those lost on September 11, 2001, but also the many who have since passed due to 9/11-related illnesses, service-related injuries, and the unseen wounds of war. Through remembrance and action, Give2Thosecontinues to uphold their legacy, ensuring that their courage, sacrifice, and stories live on.
