Team Red, White and Blue


Team RWB’s mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and
social activity. We deliver low cost, highly effective, community-based intervention that welcomes family members and community supporters as part of the team. At over 130,000 members, operating in 220 communities, Team RWB assists veterans seeking connection to develop authentic relationships to support better mental, emotional and physical health.

These strengthened social relationships mitigate against challenges resulting from lack of connection (such as depression or
suicide) and provide veterans the inclusive opportunities to participate and serve their communities through physical fitness
activities; volunteer service projects offer the opportunity to strengthen civilian-military ties to foster greater understanding between veterans and the American public.

Our Enrichment Equation of Health + People + Purpose lays the foundation for our programs:

• “People" relies on creating authentic connections (defined as genuine, quality, supportive relationships that
generate mutual trust and accountability), reflected in an increased number of close relationships and
improvements in teammates’ sense of belonging, purpose, and community engagement.

• “Health" focus creates frequent opportunities for team members to connect through fitness, sports, and
recreation to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

• Team RWB also enhances members’ “Purpose" by engaging them in meaningful team and community-based experiences such as leadership and service, that they create, lead and get others involved in.

We deliver life enriching opportunities through our two unique programs, the Chapter and Community Program (CCP) and the Eagle Leadership Development Program (ELDP). The CCP delivers consistent, local opportunities for veterans to connect through physical and social activity. They host weekly fitness workouts (running, biking, yoga, hiking, functional fitness, etc.), monthly social events and participate in volunteer service projects in their community.

The ELDP enables us to strengthen our veterans by refining the leadership skills they learned while in the military through experience, education and mentorship. Experience consists of leading and being led, education includes the enhancement of knowledge and mentorship pulls the program together through guidance and application.

Team RWB is committed to fiscal transparency and responsibility, where .86 cents out of every $1 donated to Team RWB goes directly to our life changing programs. To learn more about our impact, please go to https://www.teamrwb.org/.
