THEY HAD OUR BACKS. NOW LET’S HAVE THEIRS.

Join us for our 4th annual Jump for Vets in honor of Veteran’s Day!

Why Jump?

Because we’re saving lives through cutting-edge PTSD Treatment

Suicides among the veteran population are rising again and currently 17 veterans take their own life every single day. This is a staggering statistic and Rags of Honor1 is the only veteran non-profit actively funding a procedure called a Stellate Ganglion Block, which has proven to greatly reduce, or in most cases completely eliminate, severe Post-Traumatic Stress in over 83% of its recipients. The $1800 procedure is not covered by insurance or the VA, but BECAUSE OF JUMPERS LIKE YOU, we have successfully funded over 20 procedures!

After you register, create your personal fundraising page, share it with friends and family, and post it on social media! If you can’t jump with us, you can still create a fundraising page and support our vets with the donations you receive!

Family-Friendly: All ages and abilities welcome!

  • 8:00am: Doors open / Live DJ
  • 8:30-9am: Special Guest! Learn jump roping tricks and tips with Rachel Jablow, founder of Get Roped!
  • 9:00-10:15am: Jump!
  • We’ve got you covered: Jump ropes, water, coffee, and snacks will be provided, and parking is free (lot H)!
  • $40.00 donation per jumper (includes free T-shirt) – ALL proceeds fund the Stellate Ganglion Block procedure.
