Patriots at the movies with Cole Strange
Cole’s Patriots at the Movies program aims to provide injured veterans and veterans facing mental health challenges with a fun, all-expenses-paid afternoon or night at the movies through a two-pronged approach:
- For veterans unable to leave their VA residential centers and medical centers, Cole and the Foundation will bring fun activities, a big screen, and tailgating treats to them.
- For veterans who can attend in person, Cole and the Foundation host a private screening at Cinemas, where injured veterans can meet Cole and receive autographed gear and Foundation swag.
Meet & greet with our Heros
Starting in 2024, Cole will begin visiting residential and medical centers to meet, greet, and provide cool gear to injured veterans and veterans facing mental health challenges.
Grants for Mental Health Treatment
Launching in late 2024, this grant-making program will partner with local disabled veterans organizations to serve veterans struggling with mental health challenges by providing grants to qualified individuals who are suffering and cannot afford treatment. Cole’s grants will pay for a portion or the entirety of each veteran’s outpatient mental health treatment.
