About Warrior GMR Foundation
Our History
The Warrior GMR Foundation was created with a singular vision: to unite gamers and military veterans in a purpose-driven community that fosters understanding, mental resilience, and mutual growth. Our platform bridges the gap between veterans and gaming through impactful in-person and online events that promote camaraderie and meaningful connections.
A key milestone in our journey was the most recent Warrior GMR Mental Health and Gaming Summit, hosted at Howard University, where the Secretary of Veterans Affairs joined us to speak about the critical importance of mental health for veterans. Additionally, our Discord community has become a central hub for ongoing dialogue, mentorship, and support, offering veterans a space to share experiences and build lasting connections. Every event and interaction within our ecosystem strengthens the mental well-being and unity of the community we serve.
