Organiser's description

In order to impact the lives of many Marines, like Ryan Masters, we have created the RDM Foundation to raise money and awareness to better assist military transitioning back to civilian life as well as continued efforts around suicide awareness. Our goal is to financially support organizations, both locally and nationally, that focus on these initiatives that will have a lasting impact on veteran's families.

The RDM Foundation was established in memory of Corporal Ryan D. Masters with the mission of positively impacting veterans through fundraising and awareness campaigns focused on suicide prevention and the transition back to civilian life for servicemen and servicewomen.

If we can prevent one veteran suicide, we will have done what we set out to do. We will not stop working until veterans have access to adequate services and resources that support their needs.
