Military Living® Publications is thrilled to share with you a new series - the Military Charities Spotlight. We are sharing information on charities that benefit YOU - our military veterans and their families. We are running the Military Charities Spotlight to bring attention to some worthy causes. This week we are featuring the Irreverent Warriors.
Irreverent Warriors 501(c)3 is a proud program of the Grunt Style Foundation, committed to tackling veteran suicide through camaraderie, connection, and authentic community. Their vision is to unite, empower, mentor, and heal the veteran community while driving a healthy culture throughout its membership.
From their website: "In the context of Irreverent Warriors, 'irreverence' implies a refreshing approach to addressing serious issues affecting veterans, such as mental health and suicide prevention, through unconventional means that prioritize camaraderie, empowerment, and empathy while using humor and community support to break down barriers and stigma. It signifies a commitment to celebrating the unique spirit and resilience of veterans while fostering a supportive environment that encourages openness and healing."
They host signature events, Silkies Hikes and Silkies Retreats, bringing together hundreds of veterans in combat boots and the iconic military “silkies” shorts. These gatherings are filled with laughter, banter, and genuine connection, recreating the sense of platoon brotherhood and sisterhood that so many lose after leaving the service. There is a gap in modern mental healthcare; rebuilding the "emotional safety net" that the platoon provided on active duty is their goal. In 2025 there were 46 IW hikes and events held, over $87k raised, and several new communities launched.
Irreverent Warriors is a worthy cause, with locations and hikes scheduled nationwide. Visit their website https://www.irreverentwarriors.org/ to learn how they can help you, to support the program, or to take a look at their financial overview. Charity Navigator gives this charity a 4 star rating and a score of 98%.
