I'm raising funds to help Stand Beside Them (SBT) coach more veterans to the bright futures they deserve! Will you help me?

Dear Friend, We all remember how veterans were treated back during the Vietnam era, and are adamant to see veterans receive the attention, care, and respect that they deserve as they navigate obstacles during the difficult transition back to civilian life.

As a coach, and a veteran, I've had a unique perspective and opportunity as part of the Stand Beside Them family. SBT started with six coaches in NYC in 2013, and I've watched (and supported) SBT grow now to 175 coaches in 28 states (I came aboard in 2015). Coaching young veterans as they acclimate to new careers and civilian life has been very rewarding; I look forward to more coaching opportunities with SBT throughout the year. SBT couldn't have grown without the help of generous people like you, so I'm turning to you, my friends, to help make a difference together on behalf of more veterans.

Here's a few of Stand Beside Them's accomplishments this past year:

  • SBT added 40 new coaches on to its roster, now totaling 175 and 14 of the new coaches come from the military!
  • 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. (see photo above), Fort Knox, Phoenix, Tucson, and NYC, with plans to do more across 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. Our work is having a great impact! Many of our coachees are finding jobs and starting new businesses.

Please help SBT as we stand beside our veterans together! Any amount that you can donate will make a difference. Thanks for taking the time to consider helping this worthy organization.

Your Friend, Mark
