How To Raise 117500 For Veterans Nine Line Apparel

Nine Line Foundation Run for the Wounded: ninelinefoundation.org/

It is really easy for everyone to thank veterans for their service and it is really easy to acknowledge veterans when they have the uniform on, but it is easy to forget once they take the uniform off. The Nine Line Foundation flips that script and really focuses on saying not only do we see you, not only do we hear you, but we will never forget and we will be there to help you.

The Nine Line Foundation and Nine Line Apparel holds an Annual 5K/10K Run for the Wounded every Armed Forces Day here in Savannah, Georgia. Proceeds from this year’s race will go directly towards our newest initiative: building a transitional community, a Veterans Village of tiny homes, for homeless veterans right here in Savannah, Georgia. With both 5K and 10K options available, this twilight run is great for any participant. Participants received a post-race beer from local, veteran-owned Service Brewing Company (participants age 21+ only), a Nine Line Apparel designed Event T-shirt, koozie, and special edition 5K/10K challenge coin.

Every year, the Run for the Wounded 5K/10K event receives more and more support from the community and raises money to improve the lives of wounded veterans. In 2018, the event raised $80,000. This year, with an astounding turnout of supporters, the fundraiser event raised $117,500 to help continue the efforts of the Nine Line Foundation and provide aid to veterans in need.

Every year, Nine Line supporters and fans around the country have helped to make this fundraising event bigger and more successful than the year before.

We’ve got your six, thank you for having ours.

Where the Journey Began:

Nine Line Foundation was founded in 2013 by CPT Tyler Merritt, USA, a member of the Army’s elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. When Tyler and his wife, Angela, created Nine Line Apparel, their vision was simple: to create a high quality clothing brand to be enjoyed by patriotic Americans around the globe. In the past few years, their brand has grown, and Tyler decided to give back to the community through expanding the Nine Line brand and incorporating the Nine Line Foundation.

In early 2013, after Tyler’s West Point classmate, then CPT Edward “Flip” Klein, lost three limbs fighting in Afghanistan, Tyler decided to do the same thing he did as a soldier: proactively look for solutions. In addition to personal support, Tyler got permission from the Nine Line Apparel Board, determining that a portion of all apparel purchases be donated to help defray the tremendous rehabilitation costs of CPT Klein and, in the process, began a journey to help severely wounded veterans regain their lives.

Our Mission:

The Foundation’s mission is to raise awareness to the needs of our severely wounded soldiers and veterans and to greatly improve the quality of life of our wounded heroes, focusing on the individual needs of each candidate.

Our Current Initiative:

By primarily focusing efforts on one individual at a time, Nine Line Foundation is able to do more with less. However, when the need arises, we are capable of mobilizing and assisting in more than one project at a time – simply put, we answer the Nine Line. We are thrilled to take on the newest venture of our organization – constructing a transitional community for homeless veterans, a Veterans Village, which will provide training and housing to our veterans in most desperate need.

Nine Line Foundation has reached out to the community and has watched the interest grow month after month. From marathon runners, to military based motorcycle clubs, to individuals who have never thought about the plight of those returning from combat, people have risen to the challenge and helped Nine Line Foundation continue to raise the funds necessary to significantly improve the quality of life of those wounded in the defense of this country.

By focusing efforts on one individual at a time, Nine Line Foundation is able to do more with less. With zero overhead, 100% of all dollars collected are directed to the recipient’s personalized needs, relying on volunteers to ensure the mission is accomplished. As veterans themselves, the Nine Line Foundation team feels a lifelong commitment to support their brothers and sisters injured in combat. We would like to build greater awareness of Nine Line Foundation in the hope that one day we will have enough funding to help every soldier on our list.
