STOP DROP & PUSH CAMPAIGN

The Stop, Drop, and Push Campaign ispart of the Veterans Assiciation of Real Estate
Professionals' (VAREP) philanthropic platform of giving back (VAREP is a 501c.3 non-profit
focused om housing for veterans).

While VAREP's focus has been on veteran housing, we cannot stand idly by while our brothers and
sisters remail part of the 22 statistic.

STOP, DROP, & PUSH MISSION

To lead the charge in eliminating the 22 daily veteran suicides; by creating awareness and connecting veterans to alternative therapy so our heroes can rediscover their purpose.

BEING PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN IS AS EASY AS 1, 2, & 3!

  1. Get on social media and do 22 pushups to raise awareness for the 22 veterans lost each day to suicide, then donate $22 to Stop Drop, and Push
  2. Tag 5 of your friends and challenge them to do 22 pushups & donate $22 to SDP
  3. Challenge THOSE 5 friends to each challenge 5 friends to do pushups and donate $22

WHERE YOUR DONATIONS ARE GOING

Education: Facilitate “Veteran Wellness – Let’s Talk” Seminars across America to discuss suicide prevention strategies, provide real solutions, and share resources to veterans and all that want to make a difference in veteran lives.

National Database: We carefully vet every Provider in our database and update regularly to ensure veterans are being connected with top-notch organizations.

Financial Grants: We provide financial assistance to veterans who are not able to attend alternative therapy due to program or transportation costs.

Camp Healing: We are building a Veteran Healing Lodge in Pray, MT in Paradise Valley. The Camp will provide alternative therapy retreats including hunting, fishing, hiking, conservation, horse therapy, as well as, be immersed in nature’s solitude to heal the soul. The Lodge will organize the therapies and local guides to take the Veterans out for one day or several days then meet back at the lodge for dinners and brother/sister bonding around the campfires and/or have solitude under the Montana skies.
