TEN YEARS. TEN CAMPUSES. 2,900+ ALUMNI. Today is The Honor Foundation's Tenth Anniversary. A decade ago, we set out to change the lives of our Special Operations Forces community as they enter the civilian world. Today, we’ve proudly helped over 2,900 operators and their families find their next mission in life. We’ve grown to serve every branch of military service—with ten campuses opened in ten years. We’ve created an incredible network of resources for transitioning service members and their families, and we’ve built a community of servant leaders and change makers that are all impacting the world around them. None of this would be possible without the stalwart commitment of our supporters. We are truly humbled by the talent, time and treasure that so many have given us over the years. Thank you to Navy SEAL Foundation, our Founding Partner, and for our tremendous partnerships with Carrington Charitable Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, NextEra Energy Resources, Apollo Opportunity Foundation, Surefox North America and PayPal; our Board of Directors; THF team members; Alumni; Community Partners; and our Tribes of Support -- donors, faculty, coaches, mentors, and volunteers. We could not complete our mission without you. To the Fellows of THF -- thank you for trusting us to be part of your transition journey. It has been an honor. We will continue to pursue our mission with intention and passion, as we seek to impact the entire Special Operations Forces Enterprise. So as we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us. Please reach out to our team, connect, and help support the Special Operations community. We want you by our side for many decades to come.
