COMMANDER'S PROJECT

 

One of the perks of being the Department Commander is choosing a Veterans organization or non-profit to highlight and for which to raise funds. The project this year is the "Roger Up - Women's Veterans".

 

  

 

Provide culturally competent and equitable services that empower women to heal, grow and thrive. We recognize that women who serve often face challenges that involve intimate partner violence-ranging from military sexual trauma and community violence. By bridging the gap between first responders and resources that ensure no woman has to walk this path alone. 

 

Through education, outreach and women-centered events, we also foster, communicate, create, and maintain a space where every woman feels seen, and supported. Our project is our holistic approach, uniting and strengthening community.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION will support their Service Dog Program which focuses on providing highly trained service dogs to support those living with physical and mental disabilities. Under expert leadership, we develop dogs for tasks including mobility assistance, PTSD support, psychiatric aid, medical alerts, and more. Our goal is to build the best service dog program in the Midwest, defined by excellence, reliability and lasting impact. Faith and Fitness Program with practical physical training to support the holistic strength training. Equine Program working with horses at Freedom Farm through grooming, leading or ground based activities, where women experience the calming therapeutic presence of horses support emotional healing; Outdoor Activities Program along with clinical services, Roger Up arranges for a comforting day in the woods, on the water or through hiking on the trails. Personalized Fitness Program where there is Physical one-on-one training, group sessions helping each person build physical and spiritual strength.
