The Fallen Outdoors is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering veterans by connecting them to the therapeutic benefits of the Great Outdoors. Our mission is to provide no-cost therapeutic outdoor adventures for those who have served or are currently serving, as well as Gold Star families. By fostering connection, camaraderie, and shared experiences, we aim to combat the crisis of veteran suicide. Through these adventures, we help veterans and service members develop new skills and a lifelong passion, ensuring they always have a community to turn to. The Fallen Outdoors began in 2009 at a remote outpost in Afghanistan with three soldiers; SSG John Bates, SPC Eric Finniginam and SPC Eric Bakken. Year after year The Fallen Outdoors (TFO) continued to grow and expand, they put in every extra second they had while on active duty. Today TFO thrives in nearly every state and caters to over 200,000 veterans a year across this great nation. What started off as a simple idea to help veterans get outdoors has transformed into a lifestyle that the TFO nation lives and breathes every day. “Living our dreams, because they gave up theirs”
