Every month 10,000 young men and women come home from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other zones of conflict. They’ve served our country well, and have made sacrifices – of health, of family, of livelihood – that most of us will never have to make.
Welcome Back Veterans is a non-profit organization that aims to raise awareness about the challenges these veterans face when returning to the home front after serving in the war. By funding programs like mental health assistance and employment support, these men and women in the armed services will know that they have the respect and support of their fellow citizens when they return home.
The next step is up to you.
If you feel called to support Welcome Back Veterans, the McCormick Foundation will match the first $4 million raised, at 50 percent. In addition, Major League Baseball and the McCormick Foundation are paying all expenses associated with this initiative. That means 100% of your gift, plus the matching dollars, will go directly to programs and services for veterans.
