This month is an opportune time to remember the sacrifices made by our Veterans and service members in defending our freedom. These brave people have selflessly put their lives on the line for our country and for the ideals we hold dear. Whether serving on the frontlines or supporting operations from afar, each member of the military plays a vital role in keeping us safe.

During this holiday season and throughout the year, Challenge America, which believes Veterans and their family members deserve the very best, takes a moment to thank them for their service, sacrifice and dedication. Our gratitude is eternal, and we can’t fully express the appreciation we have for their sacrifice. Thank you, Veterans, for everything you do to protect us and preserve our way of life. We honor and salute you today and always.

Challenge America connects Veterans to resources, solutions

Our communities, CAVARTS and the Military Sisterhood Initiative, are filled with incredible people who have spent years in various branches of the military before returning home to civilian life. In the Challenge America Veteran Arts Community (CAVARTS), our members bring their talents, passions and art together to create a vibrant and open space where arts are celebrated. In the Military Sisterhood Initiative (MSI), our women Veteran members create a forgiving and friendly space where camaraderie and sisterhood are valued. We are always grateful to have these incredible people in our communities and look forward to a future where we can grow and bring even more programs to each community.

Challenge America connects service members, Veterans and their families to resources and solutions that build community and give purpose to their lives. To achieve this mission, the non-profit leverages innovation, the creative arts and community-building strategies. This is done through our two communities: CAVARTS and MSI. Membership is free, so please join today. If you are a Veteran or service member interested in learning more or joining, visit www.cavarts.org or www.militarysisterhoodinitiative.org and click “request to join.”
