RUCK IOWA

Ruck Iowa's mission is to facilitate fun physical events for veterans, develop lasting relationships, promote positive mental health, and build camaraderie.

Our intent is to plan, organize and execute physical events for Veterans throughout the state of Iowa. The purpose is to get Veterans off of their couches and do something physical with other Veterans in order to promote physical fitness and develop relationships in order to thwart the ongoing threat of depression and suicide. We do this by fundraising and through donations. The monies received go towards permits, site rentals, food, beverages, and the costs for certain activities (Bowling, hatchet throwing, fishing, equipment rental, etc.) Some of the money goes towards upkeep of equipment we have already purchased, we plan to purchase a trailer that everything can be stored in so transportation and accountability of gear can be easier to track and utilize
