One of the major goals of Beyond Battle is to expose a variety of different veteran service organizations, that are doing incredible work for the community whilst being financially responsible. Below, we have compiled a list of the charities and organizations that we have come across so far in our different interviews. Click on the picture to visit the organization's website!
“Bottle Breacher is one of the fastest growing Veteran Owned and Operated businesses in Arizona. Former Navy SEAL, Eli Crane, and his wife Jen brought to Shark Tank their sole product of the recycled, authentic decommissioned .50 caliber Bottle Breacher, manufactured in a one car garage. Having enticed Sharks’ Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary to invest, today we feature an ever expanding product line serving customers both domestically and internationally.
We aim to provide the best handcrafted, personalized man-gifts, groomsman gifts and corporate/promotional products on the market. Our mantra is built on our Made in the USA promise driven by the belief that it is our duty to serve those who serve us. With our success, we donated to over 200 non-profits in the last year alone, providing us the opportunity to support Military Veterans, Active Military Personnel, First Responders, Children’s Foundations and various other non-profits.”

belonging to his friends and fellow Navy SEALS. Now we honor his life and legacy by keeping

"The Naked Warrior Project was started by Navy SEAL, John Owens. John started The Naked Warrior Project to memorialize his brother Ryan, also a Navy SEAL, who was killed in combat in Yemen on January 29, 2017. John sat with the decision for some time of what to do to keep Ryan’s legacy alive. He knew he wanted to see Ryan have a memorial to show just how extraordinary he was and what he had accomplished. He also knew that a local run would be the way to accomplish it. The Owens family as a whole had a long standing tradition of running together in races and recording the outcomes on a family trophy. John created the Ryan Owens Memorial Run for his family and as a way to create a legacy he knew Ryan would want.
The proceeds from the Ryan Owens Memorial Run will go to building a statue in South Florida to bring Ryan home to his family, friends, and community"

"At Operation Combat Bikesaver we build bikes with Heroes for Heroes. At no cost to the participant and they get to keep the finished products. We believe that breathing new life into tarnished motorcycles by honing in on learned skill sets will relinquish the deafening grasp PTSD / TBI / Depression has on Veterans and First Responders. By creating distinctive works of art, those candidates can give back to others suffering in a brotherhood of unity, targeting relief to the chaos of one's own mind."

The R&S Foundation focuses its resources on emergency financial funding, professional development, career mentoring, and active network building. By partnering with former Veterans Affairs employees, veteran employment NPOs, corporations and individuals, we are able to provide accepted veteran applicants with a supporting infrastructure that accelerates their transition home. Additionally, we have an active network of over 1,000 Recon Marines, Marine Raiders, and Scout Snipers that our applicants can lean on to rekindle the brotherhood they left after service. For many veterans, losing connection to their teammates after service creates a void in their lives, and acts as an initial barrier to a successful transition home. Our network of Recon Marines, Marine Raiders, and Scout Snipers spans the country, and our members can help accepted veterans surmount the obstacles precluding them from a successful transition – empowering them to achieve excellence once again.

Our nation's warriors - from every field of battle - possess a sense of strength, of excellence, and of commitment that we seldom see here at home. However, far too many of them are struggling to transition their abilities towards a new mission - leading themselves, their families, and their communities off the field. MVP was designed to address this challenge, and ensure that all of our nation's warriors can be as productive off the field as they were on it.

We want to change that, and we want to prevent veterans from becoming isolated and frustrated. You may feel that your thoughts, feelings and emotions are unique to you, but they aren’t.
