Something to think about

We are excited to kick off Freetrail's 3rd annual Memorial Day Fundraiser supporting Wounded Warrior Project. To date the FT community has helped raise over $7,000 and this year we are hoping to go bigger. We encourage any brand in the trail/running/outdoor space who will be holding a Memorial Day Sale to consider a donation to this effort. Memorial Day of course was originally a moment to honor those who have served their country and did not make it home. Not the unofficial kick off to summer. Or 40% off anything. This isn't meant to shame a company holding a sale. We get it. But please condisder a donation out of your profits. As a reminder this was originally born out our friend Ari Sonnenburg's annual tribute to his friends that he served with in the US Army. This year his effort is a big one. A 75 hour vision quest through the Netherlands to see how far he can go. Every day, 58 injured veterans and their families sign up to receive critical services and support offered by WWP. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, warriors and their families will never pay a penny for these life-changing programs. How can you participate? Oh how many ways! 1. Donate if you are able to. 2. Get your employer to match the donation if that's a perk that they offer. 3. Spread the word on social media with your friends and family (maybe a repost here?) 4. If you are connected to a brand in the outdoor world encourage a donation if they will be offering Memorial Day Sales. Let's encourage them and not shame them but remind them what this holiday is really about 5. Support Ari. Are you connected to a shoe brand? We are looking for a brand to donate shoes and gear to help him with this effort. Any leads are appreciated! 6. Go out and do your own adventure and tell us all about it 7. Host a podcast? Mention this effort! Thanks in advance. Here is the link to our fundraising page - https://lnkd.in/gA8PStTz

Did you know that the average cost of training a service dog team is a staggering $28,000? For veterans struggling with PTSD, TBI or MST, this cost can be a barrier to accessing the life-changing support they need. Here's the good news: Unlike other programs in the area, we don't charge veterans for our services or require them to raise funds. Instead, we rely on the generosity of our community to make our program possible. Your support is vital in ensuring that veterans can receive the companionship and assistance of a service dog without financial burden. By sponsoring, buying tickets, or donating auction items to our upcoming Answer The Call dinner & auction, you're directly contributing to this cause and helping us make a difference in the lives of veterans in need. Join us in answering the call. Together, we can make a meaningful impact.

Whilst the Brightsides have had to take a deeper course than expected, due to the winds, and it's delayed them much more than they'd hoped...perhaps surprisingly they're considerably further ahead then the crews of the 2023 Atlantic Dash were last year. 😯 • From a race perspective, there is no real comparison between years - it doesn't necessarily mean that the Brightsides are any stronger than the teams last year, but from a weather perspective it certainly is comparable. 📈📉 • Last year the two teams had similar boats to this year, a Rannoch R45 and a Rossiters 2 - but whilst they had a faster start, and were able to take a shorter route, last year got hit by the unhelpful winds later in the race! 💨 • So whilst the Brightsides' morale took a dip at one point because of their progress...they're actually the fastest team to enter this event so far! 🏎️ • Throughout this crossing the team will be raising money for Get A-Head Charitable Trust and Meningitis Now - please donate today at https://lnkd.in/ewFcK9Vg or use the text messaging service: TEXT ROW1 to 70191 to DONATE £10 TEXT ROW3 to 70191 to DONATE £30 • Lodders Solicitors LLP Bromwich Hardy • #thebrightsides #brightsides #oceanrowing #rannoch #atlanticocean #atlanticrow #oceanrow #oceanlife #rowing #rowinglife #atlanticdash #getahead #meningitisnow

Ancient trees are a valuable natural resource and can't be replaced like-for-like. Planting new trees after felling an ancient tree is neither good nor sustainable practice. Ancient and veteran trees need our help in protecting them.

Help Razom is back with another massive fundraiser and a challenging task for 2024 - deliver 2000 IFAKs to Ukrainian soldiers by the end of this year. So far, we've assembled 600 IFAKs using funds from recurring donations and previous fundraisers, but we need your help to complete this critical mission. We’ve already spent around $54,000 on assembling and logistics for the first batch. To deliver the remaining 1400 IFAKs, we need to raise way more additional funds. These funds will cover the cost of purchasing components and logistics to get these life-saving kits to the frontlines. We are thrilled to announce recent donations of $5,000 from Selfreliance Association and $1,250 from UMANA Foundation, bringing us closer to our goal. Thank you for your generous support! Why IFAKs again? The answer is simple - IFAKs are consumables and need to be refilled daily due to injuries and battle losses. Ukraine still faces a shortage of IFAKs, and we deliver them directly to the frontlines. We kindly ask each and every one of you to join our cause and support this vital fundraiser. Every dollar matters, and every small donation can help save lives. Together, we can make a difference. Slava Ukraini! Donate now: https://lnkd.in/gF_K6AVe
