COMMUNITY PARTNERS
The Rick Herrema Foundation / Rick's Place
The Rick Herrema Foundation (RHF) strengthens relationships and builds community for The Military Family through fun, quality activities.
At present these activities include free time, play time, kids’ art and animal fun, camps, organized family activities and volunteer days. Once we complete construction and clear the debris, we look to bring out horses on a regular basis for family fun and stress relief.
Rick’s Place is a 50-acre interactive greenspace 5.5 miles from Ft. Bragg. We are open dawn-to-dusk and free for The Military Family and those who serve the Military Family.
The foundation aims to enhance familial cohesion, reduce stress, elevate quality of life, and offers tailored programs and events free of charge to military families.
Team RWB
Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) is America's health and wellness community for Veterans. We were founded by Veterans. We know firsthand that many of us carry a mission-first mindset from our service, often neglecting our own health in the process. That’s why, since 2010, our community of over 250,000 Veterans, Service Members, military families, and supporters (our “Eagles”) have enriched the lives of Veterans through events and programs focused on building a healthy lifestyle.
