Every day, 22 U.S. veterans die by suicide. Our mission is to reduce that to zero.
Veterans form their deepest bonds through shared intense experiences. These moments forge an unbreakable brotherhood. When they leave the military, they lose access to those bonding experiences, leaving them isolated in a civilian world that is incapable of replicating that connection. Rally Point at the Summit exists because veterans need new opportunities to face real challenges together and rebuild the brotherhood that kept them strong.
Why We Stand for MVFR
While the standard civilian world cannot replicate that bond, our First Responders are the exception. We include them alongside our military veterans because of the extreme hardships and severe trauma they face on the streets every single day. Our civilian law enforcement & correctional personnel, firefighters, and medics face life-or-death stakes on the home front that directly mirror what our military personnel go through overseas.
These men and women are our brothers and sisters. They bleed the same blood, they fight their own internal wars, and they shouldn’t have to carry that weight alone. We are a single, unified family.
Combatting MVFR Suicide
Rally Point at the Summit was formed to combat Military, Veteran, First-Responder (MVFR) suicide and improve the quality of life for MVFR personnel and their immediate family members by:
- Reducing suicide risk through connection, challenge, and purpose by conducting outdoor adventure programs, summits, team-based missions, and physical events that promote resilience, camaraderie, mental clarity, and emotional grounding.
- Providing direct support and financial relief to MVFR personnel or their immediate family members facing urgent hardship.
- Promoting education, advocacy, and public awareness surrounding veteran and first responder mental health, suicide risk factors, community reintegration, and the importance of sustained peer support.
Rally Point at the Summit is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in Madison, Alabama.
