Some of you may know about my volunteer work with veterans through Stand Beside Them, as a coach, I work to help veterans in their transition from military to civilian life. Stand Beside Them started with six coaches in NYC at SBT's launch in 2013 and has grown now to 175 coaches in 28 states! It's been a wonderful experience coaching young veterans as they acclimate to new careers and civilian life in general, and I look forward to more coaching opportunities with SBT this summer. SBT couldn't have done this without the help of generous people like you so I'm turning to you now to ask for your help in supporting Stand Beside Them and the veterans they serve.

Here's some of Stand Beside Them's accomplishments in 2017:

• SBT added 40 new coaches on to its roster, now totaling 175 and 14 of the new coaches come from the military! We're now in 28 states (compared to 22 last year.)
• SBT has raised its visibility, attracting partnerships with academic (University of Michigan) and corporate entities (Accenture, L'OrealUSA).
• SBT continued to bring coaches to coach on-site at veteran events in Washington, D.C., Fort Knox, Phoenix, Tucson, NYC with plans to do more around the country.
• SBT developed a "Corporate Veteran Coaching Program" to help newly-hired veterans adjust to corporate culture.
• SBT partnered with another organization to coach 50 female veterans.
• SBT has great plans for this coming year...to roll out the corporate veteran coaching program in full force; to expand to the 20 remaining states where we still don't have coaches; and to intensify our marketing efforts to reach more veterans than ever before.

Please help SBT as we stand beside our veterans together! Your friend, Randy
