OPERATION 22 TIL FREEDOM

OTTF’s mission is to help reduce the veteran suicide rate from an average of 22 a day to zero. Their mission is structured through three pillars of support. Pillar One – Community Awareness. We attend many locally hosted events to educate the public about veteran suicide and how they can help. Pillar Two – Veteran Outreach Programs. We have an emergency assistance fund for our veterans, a Christmas assistance fund, emergency counseling assistance. New for 2022 is Get Fit with OTTF and OTTF Veteran Family Nights. Pillar Three – Fundraising Efforts. We hosts multiple fundraising events throughout the year to support veterans. We have several funding programs to assist both local and national veterans. Locally we partner with other nonprofit organizations with an interest in assisting veterans. We provide the said organization with organizational needs and veteran emergency assistance. A designated portion of proceeds is donated directly to charities with a substantial interest in assisting veterans.

Operation 22 til Freedom is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization that is committed to raising awareness about veteran suicide and aiding veterans in need. Our Staff consists of three civilians and four veterans who have served a combined total of eight combat tours to Iraq & Afghanistan. After losing many veterans and friends to suicide, we decided to enter the fight against veteran suicide in 2019. We feel the average loss of 22 veteran lives to suicide each day is unacceptable and have made it our mission to reduce that number to zero through three pillars of support: Community Awareness, Veteran Outreach Programs, and Fundraising.
