Mission Phoenix

To identify and eradicate the stigma of combat related PTS that is taking so many of our Veteran lives; To train Veterans to Rise out of the ashes of their trauma and pain through comprehensive programs, events and hands on training; To offer Hope in the form of counseling, career opportunities and focused conversation.

Local non profit located in Blount County. We server those that have served our country. 

22 veterans a day take their life due to complications with PTSD. In 2017 a Marine by the name of Albert Gagnier, lost his battle with PTSD in front of the home that he built with his wife in Knoxville, Tn. After years of defending our freedoms, he ultimately lost his battle on the very soil he fought to protect. There are thousands of stories just like his, over 250,000 stories since Desert Storm to be exact. We have a vision at Mission Phoenix, and we want you to be a part of helping it come to pass. Our vision is to see the number 22 go to 0. We need your help.

Over the last three years we touched thousands of lives in over 36 states via products, counseling and resources, and social media. This year Mission Phoenix is raising the bar with plans to open a full time wellness center in the first quarter of 2024 that will not only offer hope locally for Veterans and their families but reach out to the entire nation. We will be introducing the Mission Phoenix HUB that will house local nonprofits and resources to make finding help easier for our Veteran community. A facility that is hosted by certified counselors, volunteers and community servants, all with one goal: To lower the number of lives lost in our Veteran communities.

You see, it's personal for us. That Marine that lost his battle with PTSD in Knoxville.. That was my dad. He is the reason we are determined to fix this. Will you please help?
