Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund (LTWF) is an active duty, casualty assistance, recovery, transition and Veterans organization that has provided over $21 million in financial support to members of 75th Ranger Regiment and their families. The organization was founded by Gold Star Parents Jim and Mary Regan to honor the life and legacy of their son, SGT James J. Regan, after he was Killed In Action in Iraq in 2007.

 
Since inception in 2008, LTWF has worked closely with the Ranger Regiment and the USSOCOM Warrior Care Program (Care Coalition) to address the ongoing needs of our Rangers. Over nearly 20 years, LTWF has shaped Ranger specific programs that fill the needs that are not being met by the government and other organizations. 

 
Each year LTWF works tirelessly through various fundraising and awareness events to raise much needed funds to meet the needs signaled from the Ranger Regiment and are offered exclusively to the wounded, injured and ill active-duty members of the 75th Ranger Regiment and their families.

HOOAH, Helping Out Our American Heroes, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and operates under the general direction of an all volunteer National Board of Directors. HOOAH has supporting all-volunteer chapters operating in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, and Tennessee with committees and volunteers in many other states. 

We support our American Heroes anyway we can. Our focus is on deployed troops, veterans, and their families and the awareness and prevention of veteran suicide. HOOAH can state with confidence and pride that 100% of donations go directly to supporting our mission. No one in our organization will ever get paid. 

We support all branches of the military.

Our purpose at HOOAH is to provide for the health, wellness, and social welfare of troops and veterans across the United States and abroad. We assist service members, veterans and their families with financial resources where a bona fide need exists and ready benefits have failed to meet their needs. HOOAH assists military families in times of mortal crisis where distance is a barrier.

Our mission at HOOAH is to lend support to forward deployed special operations troops, servicemen and servicewomen, their stateside families, and returning veterans with a high level of understanding, compassion, empathy, and appreciation.

HOOAH's vision is to give our volunteers, and the public, an opportunity to honor our dedicated servicemen and servicewomen and veterans with customized support and services when they need it most:

Simply because it's the right thing to do.
