Real Impact, Real Stories

Behind every ticket and every sponsorship is a life changed.

  • 1 in 3 first responders experience symptoms of PTSD.

  • Veterans are 1.5x more likely to die by suicide than the general population.

  • Depression and anxiety rates are significantly higher among first responders compared to other professions.

But there is hope.

"James, a firefighter, carried the weight of years of trauma on the job. Through our peer groups and wellness support, he found the strength to reconnect with his family and rediscover purpose in his work."

"Maria, a veteran and mother of two, struggled with sleepless nights and anxiety. With access to therapy and community support, she regained her peace — and now mentors others walking the same road."

When you join Friends Giving, you’re not just attending an event — you’re helping turn statistics into stories of hope, strength, and renewal.
