What is a "Stand Down" ?
Since its inception in 2001 the Ride to the Wall Foundation has been committed to helping America’s veterans.
In May of 2004 The Ride To The Wall Foundation Board of Directors narrowed the definition of the Foundation’s mission as assisting homeless and at-risk veterans through a national program known as a Stand Down.
Since then, the Ride To The Wall Foundation has made twenty-eight grants in twenty –two states – helping the homeless and at-risk veterans across our nation.
The men and women who answered the Call to Duty and who now need a hand up as they face an uncertain future are able to get help at Stand Downs or through veteran’s service organizations that have worked in partnership with the Ride To The Wall Foundation.
The monies are awarded to Stand Downs or veteran’s service organizations in the communities in which they are raised.
The Foundation extends a huge thank you to all the volunteers who came to a Paul Revere and the Raiders concert and helped raise money for veterans in need.
The following list shows the Ride To the wall Foundation grants awarded since its inception. The increase in activity since May of 2004 is evident, and gives all of us at the Foundation a sense of fulfilling our mission. |
