Six months. A gym, a nutrition coach, and a Battle Buddy who had been where he was. Today she mentors the next Warrior Class through their recovery. Monthly donors funded every week of it.
“The workout was the door. My Battle Buddy was the reason I walked back through it.”
The College of Charleston ran an independent evaluation under separate grant funding and released the findings on their own terms. Veterans entered the program above the clinical PTSD threshold. They exited below it.

A one-time gift funds a moment. A monthly gift funds a program that cannot pause. Every Warrior Class runs a full six months of coaching, gym access, nutrition support, and a Battle Buddy. For that reason, recurring gifts let us say yes to a veteran on the phone before the funding for their class is fully raised.
Recurring gifts let us plan classes, staff, and gym partnerships months ahead instead of quarter to quarter.
redictable revenue means more classes in more states without enrollment gaps. The program ran in 38 states in 2025. Monthly giving makes that scale possible.

Champions stand alongside the veterans they fund. You get a direct line to the mission and the outcomes it delivers, all year long.
Monthly Champions are the reason we can say yes to a veteran on the phone before their next class is even funded. They do not just donate. They hold the mission steady.
