Frontline to Field | Reflecting on Our Impact in 2025

As we look back on 2025, we are incredibly grateful for the impact Frontline to Field was able to make—and for the community of supporters who made it all possible.

This year was one of growth, connection, and purpose. Because of your generosity, we were able to expand our reach, strengthen our programming, and continue serving veterans, first responders, families, and youth in meaningful ways.

A Year of Impact

Throughout 2025, Frontline to Field hosted and supported a wide range of events that not only raised vital funds for our mission but also created opportunities for healing, inclusion, and community.

We hosted multiple baseball camps, which helped fund our programming while also opening doors for youth who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to participate. Thanks to generous sponsorships, children facing financial barriers were able to join these camps and be part of something positive and empowering. In addition, we were proud to sponsor nine children for a soccer camp, ensuring access to sports and mentorship regardless of financial circumstances.

Community-driven fundraising remained a cornerstone of our work this year. We hosted two Paint & Sip events, which allowed us to give back in powerful ways—providing a donation to the Boardman Fire Department and supporting four veteran and first responder families during the Christmas season. We also proudly hosted our First Annual Golf Outing, which exceeded expectations and became one of our most successful fundraising events to date, setting the stage for continued growth in the years ahead.

Honoring service and sacrifice continued to guide our mission. We hosted the Tetrick 22 Tribute Challenge, held in honor of fallen firefighter Johnny Tetrick, bringing our community together to remember his life and raise awareness around the importance of honoring those who gave everything in service to others.

Veteran-focused experiences remained at the heart of what we do. This year, we organized a veterans fishing charter, offering veterans and their families a day on the water dedicated to relaxation, connection, and restoration—something truly special for everyone involved.

Beyond our own programming, Frontline to Field remained committed to supporting like-minded organizations. We proudly donated to Cops Cycling for Survivors, supporting their 800-mile bike ride honoring fallen officers, as well as C.A.V.A. (Cleveland American Veterans Association). We also assembled and distributed 25 care packages for homeless veterans who were newly housed and in need of essential toiletry supplies—small items that make a big difference during times of transition.

We were deeply honored to receive several grants in 2025 that helped further our mission, including the Cleveland Guardians Military Grant, awarded at the Memorial Day game, as well as grants from the Kaulig Giving Foundation, Cleveland Foundation, and the Scott and Julie Mawaka Foundation. This support played a vital role in allowing us to continue and expand our programming.

Moving Forward

While the events and numbers tell an important story, the true impact of 2025 is found in the lives touched, the families supported, and the sense of community created through each experience. None of this happens without you.

As we look ahead to 2026, we are energized and committed to continuing to grow, evolve, and expand our efforts to meet the needs of those we serve. We are excited for what’s ahead and grateful to have you alongside us on this journey.

Thank you for your continued belief in Frontline to Field and for helping us make a lasting difference throughout 2025.

With sincere gratitude,

Frontline to Field
