Armed Forces Day is the annual opportunity to show your support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces, past and present, and the families that have supported them in turn. This fund has been established for your to offer donations in support of the planned military-style physical training session or the alternative of making a small sacrifice and give up an indulgence such as: • Your posh take away coffee from your favourite barista • A pint in the local • Taking your car to the local car wash • That cheeky bottle of wine • A takeaway meal • A round of golf • Or whatever your guilty pleasure is? By donating you'll be supporting the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) who exist to relieve need, suffering and distress amongst the Armed Forces, veterans and their families in order to support their independence and dignity. They help by providing direct support to individuals in need of physical or emotional care. Addiction, relationship breakdown, debt, homelessness, post-traumatic stress, depression and disability are all issues that can affect our members of our Armed Forces community. Many of these problems only become apparent when an individual has to leave their life in the Forces and join ‘Civvy Street’. SSAFA is committed to helping our brave men and women overcome these problems, and rebuild their lives.

On June 19, 1865 - a full two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued - news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas. Since then, Juneteenth, also known as Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day, has become a time to recognize and celebrate the culture, contributions, and achievements of African Americans. Early celebrations often served a dual purpose as political rallies to give voting instructions to newly freed enslaved peoples. However, in the early 20th century, economic and political forces led to a decline in Juneteenth celebrations due to state laws and amendments being passed that disenfranchised Black people and excluded them from voting, such as the Jim Crow laws. The Civil Rights Movement re-invigorated the holiday. In 2020, in the midst of several high-profile deaths of Black men at the hands of police, Juneteenth started to become more widely known and its significance particularly important. Systemic racism continues to plague the United States, and the struggle for true Black liberation continues to this day. Join WizeHive in supporting organizations that continue to work on dismantling white supremacy and eliminating systemic racism. The WizeHive Juneteenth Fund is composed of nonprofits with missions that address these complex, pervasive relics of oppression through education, policy, advocacy, and access to quality healthcare and other direct services. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.

XERA is a social, non-profit organization that links vulnerable groups to the community and watches over their rights.

XERA organizes volunteering activities with the DSC and we want to establish a long term relationship with them.

Details of the three organizations that we plan to support in this campaign are below.

I am riding my motorcyle from the Canadian border to the Mexican border to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. https://www.wishyouwerehereride.com/ Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, with 45,979 deaths in 2020. This is about one death every 11 minutes. The number of people who think about or attempt suicide is even higher. In 2020, an estimated 12.2 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.2 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.2 million attempted suicide. Suicide affects all ages. In 2020, suicide was among the top 9 leading causes of death for people ages 10-64. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 25-34. My family has been affected by suicide twice. Many of yours have too. Please help me reach or exceed my goal of raising $1500 of donations to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Cisco will match this donation. Help me make an impact on reducing suicide in America.

MOVE with us to support Young People's Mental Health! The EMEA Talent Acquisition Team at VMware is #MOVING 20km in the 2 weeks from 27th June - 11th July to support YPMH on their pursuit to reduce the number of young people who experience mental health problems. "More young people than ever are suffering from depression. The condition has a huge and potentially devastating impact on them, their family and friends. It accounts for the largest share of the world’s burden of disease by years lost to disability, and it has a significant economic and wider social impact. Thus, it should be everybody’s business. Nonetheless, treatments have changed little in 30 years. Current treatments for depression in under-18s are effective in 60% of cases, and 50–75% experience a relapse, even after successful treatment. There is a clear and compelling need for a new way forward." (YPMH: Changing Hearts, Changing Minds, 2021) The William Templeton Foundation For Young People's Mental Health is working on closing the gap between new scientific research findings and often outdated practice or treatments by facilitating engagement between key groups and developments for the future. Exercise has been found to improve people's mental health and decrease stress so we want everyone to #GETMOVING, either alone or as a team. Interested in Participating? We would ask for a 5$ (or however much you can) donation as a sign up fee. Once you start #GETMOVING, get friends and family involved, track your kilometers and share your progress with everyone. MOVING can be anything from walking to running, cycling, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, you-name-it 20km in 2 weeks sounds like its impossible to do? Why not share the 20km and get together as a team? This way everyone can MOVE however much they feel like they are able to, and you can add up everyone’s kilometers at the end. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact koriana@vmware.com and now... #GETMOVING!

Since 2013 Foundation "For Change" annually organizes summer camps for kids in risk - kids who were abused, orphans, kids who live in poverty. Last 2 years this tradition was paused due to covid but this year we again have a chance to give to the "different" kids something unforgettable. In those summer camps we show the kids that there are other ways of communication, values in life. We encourage them to dream and be ready to make efforts for those dreams to come true. We show them love and correction, help them build skills they will need in their lives through games, activities and conversations. We believe that it is possible for them to have a good life and future and that their choices do matter. We do all of this with a team of great volunteers. One of those volunteers is the family of Ivo Rahov who is regularly part of those summer camps. But it is not only Ivo Rahov’s family that supports those children - it is all of you, who for the past several years are participating in preparing the Christmas gifts for those kids. Here is a short video from the last summer camp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMmfUI1dsOQ This year the summer camp is planned between 4 - 9 July.
