Testimonials
Hear directly from veterans, first responders, and partners whose lives have been touched by The IGY6; Foundation.
Their stories show the real difference your support makes.
“Struggling with post traumatic stress symptoms, the IGY6; foundation created a space that benefits those who can’t afford adventure while socializing with others who have served. These events create once in a lifetime experiences for those who struggle managing daily activities. I highly recommend this organization for those who are looking for alternative ways to attain those brain chemicals they received during deployments in a healthy environment.”

“The IGY6; Foundation has been putting in work every day to help Veterans and their families, getting them connected to healing events the ranch, in race cars, and many other family-building events.
They’ve been instrumental in filling in the gaps left by the VA and other providers that keep Veterans from seeking help.
I cannot say enough good things about this organization!”
