CampV

We are so grateful for opportunities to spread our mission to others. CampV was invited to host a table in the Patriots Outpost at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth during the Charles Schwab Challenge. Mark Shaw, Community Engagement Manager and John Beaulieu, Veteran Services Manager, were both on site to talk about CampV with Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

They kicked off the week at the Patriots Luncheon with keynote speaker Army Retired Sgt. Matthew Spang, a double amputee, recipient of two Purple Hearts, passionate athlete, and avid golfer with a 7 handicap at the Legends Lounge at TCU. The rest of the week was spent at the Patriots Outpost on the grounds at the Colonial Country Club, where Mark and John were able to spread the mission of CampV to those in attendance.

We are incredibly grateful to the event organizers for the invitation to be a part of this event and thankful to our staff for being there.

Freedom isn't free.

Today, we remember the ones who paid the ultimate price with their lives, their futures, everything they had. To the fallen: you are not forgotten.

Executive Director, Travis Gladhill is in Austin this week advocating for CampV at the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) Grants meeting. CampV was awarded a $200k grant for emergency financial assistance for fiscal year 2027.

If you support our Texas Veterans and want to see more TVC funding go toward organizations like CampV, be sure to grab those lottery tickets like the "Crazy 8's" at your local Texas Lottery counter. Proceeds from lottery tickets that say "Support Texas Veterans" go towards TVC grants that help fund housing, mental health, financial assistance, and much more!
