Thank you for fundraising with us this year again! Here is more information.

Help us raise funds to secure resources to build resilient responders. Assist us in reducing the stigma with education and support for First Responders. In the first responder day-to-day world, you move on from traumatic events because they are followed by another one, and another one, and you have to keep staying present. Learning to recognize these high impact events through resiliency can save a responder.  The concept of resilience is framed by building yourself up; building strength. First Responders can learn to embrace skills and techniques to manage the stress in the moment, before, during and after, to recharge their resilience battery. The less resilience we have, the more impacted we are psychologically by events and the more it plays out over the quality of our life.  There is insidious, invisible pileup accumulation within our other responders. This leads to: increased suicidality, increased depression, increased self-medicating and relationship failures.  Help us raise funds to secure the resources to build #ResilientResponders and take care of those we call in our most dire times of need.
