Fundraising on behalf of Big Fish Foundation
It's not just a Fundraiser - it's a Transformational Experience
Every year Big Fish Foundation brings in Veterans across each branch of service and teams them up with athletes and celebrities to take on a 30 hour 'ordeal' together. During the 30-hour event teams perform tasks, physical challenges, experiencing environmental and psychological stresses together.
I participated in this event in 2022 and placed first in the veterans category. This year, I've been asked to fill a last-minute cancellation in the celebrity category. I'll be paired with a veteran, working through the event in partnership together as a team.
Why do I participate in this? To showcase the values that enable anyone to persevere through hardship:
These values are incredibly important to me and are the major components that support the Big Fish Foundation mission to impact against Veteran suicide.
Big Fish Foundation also brings in over 25 Veterans and non-military Civilians to volunteer and support the event - making it a true community-inclusive experience.
This year marks Big Fish Foundation's 4th year as a 501(c)(3) and we have an aggressive strategic vision to increase our impact into 2024. We have identified a property that will allow us to double the number of events & programs we can support - allowing us to serve over 500 new veterans AND their families yearly by 2025. To make this happen, we've set our goal for this fundraiser at $200,000.
