The Step Up Foundation

Our Story

The Step Up Foundation was founded in memory of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson, who tragically lost his battle with invisible wounds from military service. His family's journey into understanding the effects of blast wave injuries on veterans began with the donation of his brain to science. This foundation is dedicated to changing the narrative surrounding veteran suicides and mental health, focusing on the stigma that often surrounds these issues.

Impact

In just two years, The Step Up Foundation has donated $215,000 to support vital mental health programs for veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder. Through partnerships with organizations offering evidence-based treatments, the foundation is making a significant difference in the lives of those who served.

Why Donate?

Your donation to The Step Up Foundation directly impacts the lives of service members by funding essential research and treatment programs for veterans facing both physical and invisible wounds. Raising awareness about veteran suicide is crucial, and community support is needed now more than ever.
