The arts have proven to be effective in helping people with PTSD and TBI to process and communicate their experience, creating healthy pathways to future employment and mental health as well as a new confidence in finding their place back in civilian life. This is something our heroes deserve and this event is something you can do.

This Veteran's Day, be a hero for our heroes. Join us for OPERATION LAUGHTER, donate and tell your friends.

Thank you,

Tom Bird
