Family, Friends, and Colleagues,

For nearly a decade now I have been actively involved with Veterans Yoga Project.  VYP is an outstanding, nonprofit, nationwide, organization that brings mindful resilience yoga and meditation tools to our veterans suffering from PTSD, their families, and communities. VYP achieves so much, with so little (all volunteer organization).

• 3,150+ professionals trained to teach to veterans
• Classes offered in all 50 states
• 4,700+ classes offered annually
• 1,230 Mindful Resilience Teacher Training scholarships awarded
• 26,000+ veteran encounters annually
• ALL FREE to veterans, their families, and communities

More than 20 veterans commit suicide Every Day. Yoga and mindfulness techniques are scientifically proven to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and chronic pain. We give veterans tools in their toolbox to get on, and stay on, a path to wellness. VYP saves lives.

But VYP cannot do it without your help. We need donors, sponsors, and volunteers to continue our mission. Please consider donating to VYP. All donations are tax deductible. VYP is “top-rated” on Great Non-Profits, “100/100” on Charity Navigator, and “Platinum Transparency” on Cadid. 86% of all revenue goes directly to providing training and classes to our veterans. You can donate safely and securely using the link below.

I am personally very grateful for your donation and support. If you’d like to learn more about VYP, volunteer with this amazing organization, or find classes in your area, check out the VYP website at www.veteransyogaproject.org, and/or feel free to contact me directly. Thank you again for your support.

We love to serve those who served us. We think you do too! The 18million Veterans in the U.S., their families, caregivers and the other healthcare professionals who support them turn to Veterans Yoga Project every week for the more than 5,000 Yoga and Mindful Resilience practices classes we hold each year.

Veterans Gratitude Week is a national outreach and fundraising event that encourages yoga studios and instructors across the country to host donation-based classes to support the veteran community. Everyone is welcome to take these classes!

Yogis aren’t the only ones supporting our efforts! Individual donations make such a difference. When everyone joins with Gratitude, Resiliency and Support, we all win. Join Us for Veterans Gratitude Week.
