2026 Tandem Jump Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsor a Veteran or First Responder. Change a Life.

The 22Mohawks Little Group of Paratroopers (LGOP) is a nationwide initiative that brings veterans and first responders together through the shared experience of tandem skydiving. While the jump itself is unforgettable, the true purpose is what happens afterward.

At 22Mohawks, we believe connection is one of the strongest protective factors against suicide. LGOP creates opportunities for veterans and first responders to build meaningful relationships, challenge themselves, discover renewed purpose, and become part of a community that continues long after their feet are back on the ground.

In September 2026, LGOP events will take place in: Mass • Connecticut • Illinois • Maine
