THEY WERE THERE FOR US.

Every day our military forces take up the fight to keep us free. Our Veterans from past and current wars willingly pay this price, often at great personal cost to preserve these freedoms we hold sacred.

IT'S OUR TURN TO BE THERE FOR THEM.

Disabled and wounded troops have life-long special needs as they to adjust to lives changed by their sacrifice. Operation Injured Soldiers is building a network of individuals, corporations, and organizations dedicated to providing the resources these heroes need to return to productive lives in their communities. Please consider how you can make even a small sacrifice for the people who have given so much for all of us.

VOLUNTEER

USE YOUR EXPERIENCE AND SKILL.

You can give what nobody else can – your time and the skills that you have spent a lifetime acquiring. Besides volunteering for the programs and events offered by Operation Injured Soldier, we know the veterans we help as individuals, and can link you and your unique skill to their individual needs.

GET TO WORK

Some ideas of where you can help are:

• Volunteer staffing at one of our events.
  
  
• Run a fundraising event on behalf of Operation Injured Soldiers.
  
  
• Provide private land, accommodations or recreational equipment for Veterans and their families wanting to enjoy the outdoor activities in your area.
  
  
• Provide transportation or airfare miles for Veterans who are traveling out of state.

HOLD AN EVENT

INVEST IN GOODWILL

Corporate fundraising for the OIS doesn’t just help support an important cause, it offers many benefits for your company and employees. Not only can it improve staff morale and motivation, fundraising efforts for such an important cause can enhance your company's image among staff, suppliers and the community.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT YOUR COMPANY CAN RAISE FUNDS FOR OIS:

• Sponsor a OIS golf tournament or corporate run
  
  
• Have a theme day, and match the donations employees make. For example, blue jeans or casual day, employees make a donation in order to dress casually for work.
  
  
• Brown bag lunch day. Employees bring their lunch in lieu of buying it and donate the amount of money that they would have spent on lunch that day to OIS.
  
  
• Coffee break. Offer free coffee for several days with a “OIS donation” jar in the cafeteria.
  
  
• Schedule a corporate matching week. Host a week of daily activities (free coffee, casual day, extended lunch hour, free dessert, etc.) in honor of our Veterans. Throughout the week, collect employee donations that will be matched by the company.
  
  
• Sell “Hero Caps” at your store or office.
  
  
• Hold a fundraising event on behalf of the Operation Injured Soldiers.
