FAIRWAYS FOR FREEDOM®
Help Send 8 Combat-Injured Veterans On A Healing Retreat In 2026

- Evidence-informed self-regulation and mindfulness training
- Therapeutic golf instruction
- Community-building and peer support
- Healthy lifestyle practices
- Post-retreat reintegration resources
Fairways for Freedom takes no salaries and has no paid staff. We rely solely on volunteers. Every dollar goes directly to mission impact.

Why This Matters
Many combat-injured veterans live with:
- Loss of limbs
- PTSD
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Severe chronic stress
- Isolation and disconnection
Our retreats pair veterans with Ambassador/Donor mentors on world-class golf courses in Ireland, Scotland, England, Nova Scotia, Vermont, Georgia, and Utah—creating deep healing, connection, and transformation.
TESTIMONIALS FROM VETERANS WE’VE HELPED HEAL
“This trip has definitely changed my life. I loved the mindfulness sessions and am continuing to incorporate them into my life.”
— Grant Derrick,
U.S. Army Special Operations Forces
“I told [my doctors] that I didn’t have any stress at all while in Ireland. Stress is one of the main reasons I get seizures. While I was there I didn’t have one. I think it’s because it was a stress-free trip.”
— Trevor Allenby,
U.S. Marine Sergeant (ret.)
“I just want to thank all of those who made this trip possible. I am truly humbled and forever changed for the better.”
— Mindy Gaida,
U.S. Army Combat Medic (ret.)
