Rocky Top Veterans Foundation has quickly grown into a direct Veteran Care organization. From its inception our goal is to make a impact on the veterans living in the communities around us. Our hope is to ensure the Community can directly see the impact being made by every dollar raised.
FIRE-TEAM TENNESSEE
FIRE-TEAM TENNESSEE is our foundation's fight to bring a network of community members and organizations together and be trained to identify the signs of a veteran in crisis and help eliminate veteran suicide throughout Tennessee.
Rocky Top Veterans Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on helping the veteran community in East Tennessee.
Our board consists of Veteran and non-veteran members, all with the same like-minded goal of making an immediate impact in veterans’ lives.
Since our launch in 2020, our organization has already touched hundreds of Veterans and their families through our numerous programs.
Programs such as our Sustained Valor Campaign, which highlights the individual Veteran for his or her accomplishments and sacrifices while serving by publicly presenting each one with a “Veterans only” T-shirt design compliments of Rocky Top Veterans Foundation.
We also recognize that behind every Veteran’s sacrifice is a loved one at home sacrificing as well. Through our Hearts Behind the Hero’s Campaign, we can honor the spouse in a similar way as well.
One of our favorite events to sponsor is, Pints with Patriots!
A rapidly growing Veteran and family meet and greet, Pints with Patriots is held one to two times a month in locations around Knoxville and surrounding counties.
During this event, Rocky Top Veterans Foundation provides dinner to each Veteran through the amazing support of our own community.
This is a huge success for veterans by bringing all generations of Veterans together for dinner and camaraderie.
Our Sustained Valor Campaign was created to honor Veterans. Whether it's a Veteran in passing or one living in our local assisted living facilities, we strive to recognize each one by gifting them with a thank you and a specially designed T-shirt.
Some other events that we host and participate in include:
- Free Veteran’s breakfast at two locations around the community in conjunction with The United Veterans Council of East Tennessee
- Christmas shopping for veterans confined to assisted living facilities
- Veterans Day events
- Veteran dinners in which guest speakers are brought in to speak about the success’s and struggles of being a Veteran
