THE MISSION IS GROWING

Summer has been a busy one for the Special Operations Adventure Foundation.

What started with a simple idea — reconnecting Special Operations veterans with the sense of purpose, camaraderie and adventure that defined so much of our military lives — is becoming something much bigger.

Over the past few months, we have put serious miles on motorcycles, traveled across the country, built new partnerships and, most importantly, continued creating opportunities for veterans to reconnect with one another through challenging outdoor experiences.

And we're just getting started.

Appalachian 1000: More Than Just a Motorcycle Ride

In July, SOAF proudly participated in the Backroads of Appalachia Appalachian 1000 Endurance Rally.

Over the course of the event, we covered more than 1,000 miles through the mountains and backroads of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio while raising awareness for the unique challenges faced by America's Special Operations veterans.

The riding itself was unforgettable.

We crossed mountain passes, explored remote communities, and experienced some of the most beautiful scenery the Appalachian region has to offer.

Of course, every adventure has a story...

RECONNECTING WARRIORS • RESTORING PURPOSE

A Message From Our Founder

As summer continues, our mission continues to gain momentum.

Over the past month we've had the privilege of representing the Special Operations Adventure Foundation in new communities, meeting incredible supporters, and continuing to spread awareness about the unique challenges facing Special Operations veterans after military service.

Every event we attend and every dollar raised moves us one step closer to providing life-changing therapeutic outdoor retreats for the warriors who need them most. None of this would be possible without your continued support.

Thank you for believing in our mission.
