Operation Charlie Bravo
Our mission is to lower the suicide rate and prevent homelessness in the veteran population.
Formerly known as Operation Combat Bikesaver. Our flagship program is what we call "Hotrod Therapy," which teaches veterans the skills and techniques to rebuild an old beat up motorcycle and create the bike of their dreams. Through this distractive therapy veterans also get to work through their problems and end up "rebuilding" themselves as well. We have seen some great men and women go through incredible changes in this program. The veteran then gets to keep their project at no cost, and they usually end up sticking around to help mentor the next veteran through the process.While we are most known for our Hotrod Therapy program, we offer a variety of programs to improve the lives of veterans that served their country. The "On Your Feet" program helps veterans going through hard times. Our weekly veteran peer support group "Lima Charlie" meets every Thursday and gives veterans a safe space to workshop their problems with like-minded individuals who have been through similar experiences. Our F.A.T. Program, or "Fitness and Tranquility" helps veterans to live a healthy, active, and peaceful lifestyle, which can be an adjustment to some. Just to name a few.
100% of your donation goes to helping veterans, whether that be a part for their motorcycle build, getting them a safe ride to work in the morning, or enabling them to make positive impact in their community.We do not believe in just "raising awareness." People are definitely aware. We are making a positive impact.

Charlie Bravo Remodel
We're trying to raise funds to help improve our facility to provide better services to our veterans. Our vision is to be a veteran fun-land for positive growth in a near-peer atmosphere. We bridge the gap in veteran health services for military veterans seeking assistance by providing hands-on activity-based facilities full of solutions to positively impact veterans lives by helping them moderate their happiness level in a near peered action-packed solution driven family atmosphere while preventing suicide and homelessness at the same time.

National Headquarters New Roof
Operation Combat Bikesaver has just moved to a whole new building. We now have over 15,000 square feet and are serving more veterans than ever before. With our new building, also comes new problems, but nothing that the veterans and volunteers aren't capable of tackling. Our biggest problem right now is the incoming weather. As many Midwesterners know, the winters can get very harsh out here. The local roofers union has agreed to help us with get up to par, but we still need some help! By donating to this fundraiser you will be directly helping keep the roof over our heads fixed. If you would like to donate regularly to make a positive impact on veterans and their community, that option is still available. Thank you so much for your unwavering support. Mission First. +Impact or Die Trying
