ELeVATE: Overcoming Obstacles, Shattering Stereotypes

As trees shed their last few amber-gold leaves and nights grow long and cold, the holiday season provides a welcome respite and opportunity for us to focus on that which is most important in our lives. Families gather, embrace one another, and recount the stories and accomplishments of the past year.

It is also a time of generosity, of placing other’s needs before one’s own. However, many individuals who donate to a cause don’t necessarily see where their contribution has an effect. But for student veterans in the Human Engineering Research Laboratories ELeVATE program, every dollar raised goes directly to the financial support and education of program participants. As such, we ask that you share the work of the ELeVATE program and this campaign with your family, friends, and coworkers.

We understand that this season will see many requests for support from countless organizations, and we are exceedingly grateful for your support of this successful, proven program for our student Veterans!
