It takes a special type of individual to take up the torch and sprint into the darkness. A Warrior stands ready to do what others won't in order to preserve our freedoms and American way of life. They bear the burdens of this task every day, and often long after the experiences they have endured.

We provide world-class Enrichment opportunities for these Warriors to relieve some of the burdens they carry...but we can't do that without your support.

Will you pick up the torch and help us honor them?

As most of you know Sportsmen for Warriors is coming up on our 10 year anniversary! Over this time period, we have taken many warriors on excursions in the states as well as internationally, such as, Great White 🦈 diving at Guadalupe Island, Fishing🎣 in the Alaskan bush, big🦬 and small🦃 game hunts in several states, a bi-annual warrior camp-out 🏕️ put on by Kris Clere in Central Florida, and so much more. We have had the honor of hearing Kris “Tanto” Paronto from 13 hours, as well as Medal of Honor recipient Clint Romesha speak at our fundraisers and had country music star AND Army veteran, Craig Morgan provide entertainment for our Warriors and donors.

We are currently looking to our communities for corporate donations, or business owners that would like to do a “change round-up” fundraiser over the summer to benefit SFW. These donations and fundraisers are a huge tax benefit for your business, as well as providing us with the ability to take on this Su***de epidemic with our Warriors.

We provide these excursions to Veterans and First Responders, as many of us such as Mike Donnelly our COO and Jessica Lovett (the self-proclaimed CSMO, Chief Social Media Officer) go into civil service roles after we leave the military. Our organization was founded by two West Point educated, combat Veterans Ben and Cresta Batemen, to Enrich, Engage, and Educate our warriors. After coming back from multiple tours to the Middle East, Ben and Cresta, who are avid outdoors people, saw the need for their soldiers to have a safe space to combat PTSD and to feel the camaraderie we’ve all missed, thus, Sportsmen for Warriors was born.

“It takes a warrior to heal a warrior” is our motto and we wholeheartedly stand by this.

🛑TLDR🛑

📣Anyone that would like to do a corporate donation please reach out to founders Ben or Cresta Bateman at [email protected].

📣If you would like to donate as an individual, you can do so as well on our website, you are very much appreciated!

📣If you or anyone you know wants to be involved, the form to nominate a warrior for an excursion is on our website as well.
