Financial consulting firm Shumaker Advisors raises $3.5 million to aid the Blue Angels in assisting injured war veterans.
The Blue Angels Foundation, a nonprofit organisation led by former members of the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, has received significant financial support through efforts by Shumaker Advisors. Over the past four years, Shumaker Advisors have secured $3.5 million in state funding for the foundation, which focuses on supporting wounded veterans.
The Blue Angels Foundation utilises this funding to provide essential services aimed at helping veterans rebuild their lives after service. These services include transitional housing, mental health services, suicide prevention, and community reconnection.
Transitional housing provides temporary accommodations to support veterans in their transition back to civilian life. Mental health services offer psychological support and counseling to address challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Suicide prevention strategies and programs are implemented to prevent suicide among veterans, a critical concern in the veteran community. Community reconnection helps veterans reconnect with their communities and regain their sense of purpose.
The partnership between Shumaker Advisors and the Blue Angels Foundation highlights the importance of supportive networks for veterans transitioning out of military service. Shumaker Advisors, part of the Shumaker firm with over 300 attorneys and advisors nationwide, plays a crucial role in securing government funding. Their efforts are led by individuals with personal connections to military service, such as Alan Suskey, who served eight years in the U.S. Army.
The funding ensures that veterans have access to the resources they need to overcome the challenges associated with military service. The Blue Angels Foundation's mission is to empower veterans to regain confidence and reclaim their lives. This partnership underscores the commitment to supporting veterans through strategic partnerships and advocacy.
In conclusion, the $3.5 million in state funding secured by Shumaker Advisors for the Blue Angels Foundation over four years demonstrates a dedicated effort to support veterans' welfare. By providing essential services and fostering community reintegration, the foundation aims to make a meaningful difference in the lives of wounded veterans. The partnership between Shumaker Advisors and the Blue Angels Foundation continues to be strengthened, working together to save lives and help wounded veterans move towards a brighter future.
