THE IGY6; FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU
Our mission is to advocate for prevention and awareness for Veteran and First Responder Suicide.
At The IGY6; Foundation, 501c3 Non Profit, wellbeing is at the forefront of what we’re working together towards. 100% of donations go towards programs for our Veteran and First Responder community. Our programs and activities are designed to be a catalyst that helps community members understand how to deal with a Veteran or First Responder in crisis. We also want to provide a place were Veterans and First Responders feel welcome, understood, and find a secondary mission.
THE IGY6; FOUNDATION AT A GLANCE
Here at The IGY6; Foundation, we are driven by a single goal; to lessen the number of Veteran and First Responder suicides. We intend to provide a safe place where those in crisis can contact and speak with someone that can relate to them and provide necessary resources available. By educating the public on how to deal with Veterans and First Responders in crisis and the signs of what to look for we hope to lessen the number of Veterans and First Responders suicides. 22 a day is 22 too many!
"I extend my deepest gratitude to our Armed Forces and first responders serving both at home and abroad in the war against terrorism."
