New Year, Same Resolution
THE PATRIOTS INITIATIVE would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Here at TPI, we are always thriving to make a difference in the lives of our active duty military, veterans, and their families. Last year, thanks to donors like you, THE PATRIOTS INITIATIVE was able to continue achieving this resolution. 2018 marks TPI's 10th anniversary, and the nonprofit's unwavering dedication to those who sacrifice their lives protecting our nation’s freedoms.
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2017
The Patriots Initiative ended 2017 on a high note after awarding grants to 16 different organizations in two categories: Wounded and Fallen and Warriors in Transition. The money for the grants was raised in October by TPI’s Team Young Guns who participated in the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim Challenge. This grueling 25-mile, one day hike took the team just shy of 14 hours to complete. Their hard work paid off though, raising over $62,000 for THE PATRIOTS INITIATIVE.
UPCOMING EVENTS
TPI will continue to work on improving the quality of life for active duty service man and women, veterans, and military families. To be the foremost resource for stakeholders to gain awareness and contribute resources to support the critical, unmet needs of America’s armed forces represents THE PATRIOTS INITIATIVE's vision. TPI's Directory lists the finest nonprofit service providers most qualified to fulfill these needs.
