SFS Fundraising

To use lacrosse as a platform to support American veterans and foster community engagement.

Our Approach -
Educate: We educate the community about the challenges Veterans face when returning home. We share authentic first-person narratives from Veterans as well as curate learning resources and materials addressing the issues.

Engage: We engage the civilian and military communities at the event to foster empathy and understanding. We also foster online discussion and conversation to bridge the gap between a younger millennial generation and our Veterans.

Amplify: We amplify the work of leading non-profits in the space through funding their programs, projects and operations. We also use our platform online to develop and share authentic media addressing Veteran issues and topics.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Shootout for Soldiers knows that there is a disconnect between the civilian and veteran communities and is using the game of lacrosse to foster community engagement to accomplish this.

Shootout for Soldiers strategies are 3-fold;
A. Educate through an active social media presence and on-site at events to raise awareness of the issues that veterans face.
B. Engage through the power of sports, we get veterans active in their communities by attending our events and connecting with local teams.
C. Amplify, we identify impactful projects that support our veterans and support their work through fundraising.

Shootout for Soldiers does this through events all across the country. The Shootout for Soldiers events is comprised of 24-1 hour games in a row and for boys and girls of all ages. Teams that register fundraise for the Veteran Charity Partners that Shootout for Soldiers supports.

Since the inception of Shootout for Soldiers in 2012, Shootout for Soldiers has raised awareness of the struggles that our Veterans face daily. Shootout for Soldiers has raised over $3.5 million to support the projects of a variety of Veterans Charities.
Next for Shootout for Soldiers;
A. To continue to grow by adding new locations to our event list.
B. To get more community involvement by either playing, volunteering and/or supporting our mission through sponsorship.
C. Of course, raise more money for more projects that help our veterans every day.
