Join us March 24 to hear Kathie Wood talk about "Carry the Load"

Carry the Load Vision:
Carry The Load is built on more than events or fundraising, it is driven by a clear mission and vision that shape how we serve, remember, and support those affected by service. These principles guide our actions and keep our work focused on lasting impact.

Carry the Load provides active ways to honor and remember our nation’s heroes by connecting Americans to the sacrifices made by our military, veterans, first responders, and their families.

Since 2011, Carry The Load has raised $50.1M to support those who have bravely sacrificed for our country. Ninety-three percent of every dollar raised goes directly to our programs and makes a direct impact in the military and first responder communities.
