The Travis Manion Foundation honors and advances the ideal of selfless service that Travis exemplified. The millennial generation, especially the men and women who have served in harm’s way since 2001, are the future leaders of our country. We give in order to support their aspirations. We give to enable the Travis Manion Foundation to inspire and educate them, so that they can fulfill their leadership potential.

What motivates you to stay involved?
