The BRAVE Appeal

Dear friends and valued supporters,

As we celebrate our 15th year of service, our unwavering commitment remains focused on supporting military service members and their families during the transition from active duty to civilian life. Our journey has been marked by dedication, thought leadership, and tangible contributions to the well-being of Veterans.

Our Contributions:

  • We champion institutional change and advocate for new laws that enhance the financial security of Veterans.

  • We recognize and collaborate with other stakeholders in the veterans’ ecosystem who share our goal.

Our Approach:

Despite operating without a paid staff, we engage passionate volunteer students as interns. Together, we analyze original research data to identify future trends and address the diverse needs of Veterans. Our creativity and determination drive our success, as evidenced by the testimonials from these students.

The BRAVE Commission:

In recognition of our efforts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has established the “BRAVE Commission” to assess the future needs of veterans and their families. As a founding member, I invite you to contribute generously to this noble cause. Your investment today will extend our impact far beyond the duration of the Commission.

We pride ourselves in creating lasting change beyond local operations. As former Pentagon Master Sergeant, Stephen J. Canonico, upon assessing our programs, exclaimed, ‘You’re not just trying to help us (the US Army Soldier for Life Program); you are trying to help the Whole Force!’

Thank you for considering our request. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of those who have served our nation.

Sincerely,

Leroy Ashwood, President and CEO, and the BRAVE Team!
