A Mission Worth Rallying Behind
Join us as we celebrate the official launch of Operation Wellness Shield, a Florida-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving our nation’s military members, veterans, first responders, and their families through life-changing wellness initiatives.
Operation Wellness Shield provides programs and support in:
Fertility preservation & family planning
Hormone replacement therapy & wellness optimization
Methylated genetic testing for personalized health insights
Adaptive mobility products that restore independence and improve daily life
Why It Matters
Those who serve our nation often face unique physical and environmental challenges — from chemical exposure to extreme stress and injury — that can affect their health, fertility, and overall well-being for years to come. Unfortunately, many of these needs fall outside the scope of traditional coverage or care.
That’s where Operation Wellness Shield steps in — to bridge the gap, restore hope, and protect the future of those who have protected ours.
A Day of Patriotism, Family, and Purpose
Join us at Bayboro Brewing Company for a family-friendly, patriotic afternoon featuring a cornhole tournament, raffles, silent auctions, games for all ages, and more — all in support of a mission that truly changes lives.
Every ticket purchased, every raffle entered, and every dollar donated helps us reach our year-end 2025 fundraising goal, enabling us to begin serving deserving families as we head into an impactful 2026.
Join the Mission
Spread the word.
Show up.
Stand with those who’ve stood for us.
Together, we can honor their service by protecting their future.
