Catch A Lift Fund’s Post

Check out the latest #HomeBaseNation podcast to hear Ryan, Frank, and Dr. Ron Hirschberg talk hockey, military, and so much more! Such a great episode!

First, to all the Veterans - thank you for your service. Second, please share this link with your network for any Veterans that may be looking to start a business. Thank you to The Mobile Cigar Lounge (a Veteran owned business) for making me aware of Bunker Labs and how they help veterans & military spouses start & grow successful businesses & startups. #veteransday #startups #entrepreneurs

FEASIBILITY STUDY Attention all Veterans, Active Duty Military, National Guard, Reservists and 1st Responders. Go to https://lnkd.in/esFAXa7 to see what we are planning. If you are interested in our Vets As Refs program, then complete the short survey at https://lnkd.in/ef3eCj2D. This is not a commitment on your part. This is mainly a feasibility study to determine interest in such a program.

Ready to try something daring? "So there I was"... cool guy factor alert. In October, my good buddy Ryan "Birdman" Parrott, and a cohort of his US Navy SEAL and US Army Spec-Ops buddies are putting on the event of events to raise funds for various aspects of the Veteran Community. Red Coat Challenge 2 is a two night affair with the most elite America has to offer to train you to go on a mission. It will be simulated as the most authentic, realistic and closest you will ever get to going on an actual raid to get the bad guys. This year... Birdman and his crew up the ante by turning out the lights at night & going on a Black OPS mission. I can speak from experience last year, on the inaugural Red Coat Challenge I did (during the day) with my partner in crime ROBERT WIEREMA, that this was one of the coolest things I've done in my life (Shooting targets from a helicopter with a SEAL trying not to laugh at your lack of accuracy? Hanging out with the dog handler on the Bin Laden raid with his dogs? Wrestling Bryce Hansen, a Green Beret, who sneezed and pinned you while you gave 200% effort?).  Want to do something daring, crazy, and fulfilling in 2023 that also happens to giving back to those that have served? The best part is the cost is tax deductible…name a better way to get that end of the year write off? Now's your chance to make it happen. All of the links are included on the website in comments. #Lockton #Mindset #Veterans

We love that Sim Shain signed up with the NY Jets as a small business partner.   It's going to be great exposure for his businesses (Paraflight/Organflight/Urgentflights), and the Eleven | NYJ Small Business Partnership team has been great.   Why is this worthwhile to do?   1) It's just great branding and owning your backyard. New York is Sim's neighborhood... and Let's Go Jets.   (Kind of a fun pun - New York Jets... private jets... )   2) It shows personality and spirit. Only a handful of charter companies do any brand play in professional sports, such as Net Jets and Wheels Up. Sim, as a broker, enters that world along with those companies.   3) It's fun to show off your chops in a way people don't expect. You'll see new content from the games all next season.   I encourage all my peeps to follow "Urgentflights" - providing ASAP travel for operators and travelers is a great idea. Operators can get flights, backup for AOG or mechanicals, and other services from Sim... travelers can get access to ASAP bookings.     The technology is all based on their award-winning and tried-and-trusted platform of "organflights.com," which is the leader in organ medical transport. Let's Go Jets.   And cheers to UrgentFlights and "Broadway Sim" for taking a chance to do something fun and extraordinary.   #newyork #nfl #aviation #charter #business #advertising #marketing

As a Limited Liability Corporation, JLBC Cadet Corps has a varied financial structure

As a Limited Liability Corporation, JLBC Cadet Corps has a varied financial structure

So many of our friends in the greater Phoenix area ask “How can I support our men and women at Luke Air Force Base?”. It’s a great question. Our USAF takes care of our airmen. Fighter Country Foundation (FCF) was organized to educate the public on why we need to protect the base as well as figure out how to enhance the lives of our men, women, and families and all of the people that are associated with the world’s best fighter wing in the Air Force. FCF focuses on filling the gaps for families through moral and well-being, mission sustainability, and culture and tradition. We are quickly approaching the end of 2023…..I know…it’s blowing my mind as well. One of the easiest ways to make a huge impact on what we all can do in the greater Phoenix area and Arizona as a whole is simply ordering a Sound of Freedom license plate from ADOT. The majority of cars are purchased in the fall/winter before the end of the year. Many of you have to renew your registration before the end of the year. I would encourage everyone in Arizona to select our specialty plate. ADOT is generous with the $25 fee and donates a large part of the fee to help fund our family programs including but not limited to, back-to-school backpacks, deployed family functions, first sergeants dinners, and many other programs. More importantly the plate demonstrates our unwavering support in Arizona for those that serve us. Please consider renewing your registration with the Luke AFB specialty plate. https://lnkd.in/gGVaEZ5Y For more information about Fighter Country Foundation please visit https://lnkd.in/gyGWgkjf
