You do not set the number. Your donors do. Every dollar they give is one burpee you owe on Veterans Day, and every dollar funds WarriorWOD’s six-month PTSD recovery program for a veteran.
WarriorWOD’s program is independently verified by the College of Charleston. Your burpees fund the next Warrior Class.
The Pledge
Who Can Join
2026 Goal
01
Create your page
Takes about two minutes. Pick a dollar goal. You get a personal fundraising link and a full kit of email templates, text scripts, social graphics and a printable flier.
02
Ask people directly
Text five friends before you post anything. Direct asks convert. Tell them what they are buying: burpees from you, recovery for a veteran.
03
Pay up on Veterans Day
One burpee per dollar raised. Break it into sets across the day. Film it, tag your donors & WarriorWOD, and post the receipt.
Pick Your Number

If you raise $100
Ten sets of ten across the day.
What it funds
Most of one month at $125. Exercise programming, nutrition coaching and a Battle Buddy checking in.
I stopped going to things. Birthdays, cookouts, my sister’s place twenty minutes away. I would say yes and then not go. My husband quit asking after a while, and I told myself that was easier on both of us.
I signed up for WarriorWOD because I had run out of things that were not working. I figured it was another program that hands you a workout plan and calls it done.
The whole community wrapped their arms around me and nobody made it a thing. Every day I felt more of a purpose. My Battle Buddy texted at 0600. Not asking how I was feeling. Just telling me to get up. That was the language I needed.
I am thriving with my family now. I am thriving at my job. I say yes to my sister and then I show up.

Your burpees put the next veteran through the same six months.
WarriorWOD pairs a veteran with a Battle Buddy for six months of exercise, nutrition and mentorship. The College of Charleston independently verified the results using the PCL-5, the standard clinical measure for PTSD.

Measured across program completers using the PCL-5.
Crisis veterans alive
Every veteran who entered the program in crisis is still here.
Per veteran, six months
$125 a month funds one veteran’s complete recovery.
Source: independent evaluation by Dr. Katie Trejo Tello, College of Charleston. n=21 matched pairs, t(18)=−5.78, p<.001, Cohen’s d=1.33. Peer review pending. 2,500+ veterans reached since 2021 across 38+ states and 12 Warrior Classes.
Your own page, and your donors decide what you owe. If they put you at $250, that is 250 burpees and two months of one veteran’s recovery.
One team page, unlimited members, a shared total. Whatever your members and their donors raise is what the room owes. Run it as your Veterans Day class and split the burpees across everyone who shows up.
Veterans Day, November 11, is the target. Break them into sets across the whole day. Some people spread them across the final week instead. Nobody is checking your form, but your donors will love to see your video.
No. Your donors set it. Every dollar they give adds one burpee to your total, so the number is theirs to decide and yours to pay. You can post a target to aim at, but the count that matters is whatever your page shows on November 11.
Yes. Substitute anything you can repeat: squats, push-ups, steps, rowing meters. Set the movement on your page so donors know what they are buying.
To WarriorWOD’s six-month program: exercise programming, nutrition coaching and a Battle Buddy for a veteran with PTSD. $125 a month per veteran, $1,500 for the full program.
That is the best version of it. Register a team page, put the flier on your whiteboard, and run the burpees as your Veterans Day workout. We send you the graphics and the member invite email.
Set your monthly level below. From there, the funding goes directly to the next Warrior Class. 93 cents of every dollar reaches the program.
Train. Heal. Reconnect. Ask your people, then pay off whatever they put on you on November 11.
NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE.
