The Center Recognizes the Service & Sacrifice of Vietnam War Veterans
“Our nation owes an eternal debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and that of their families. We cannot forget to remember.” – Sara Heidenheimer, Program
“Dixon Center brings the most effective partners together to make the lives of veterans and their families better.”– Rick Freedman, Director & Co-President, Eugene and Ruth Freedman Family Foundation
Last month, the Eugene and Ruth Freedman Family Foundation renewed its support of Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services with a 4-year grant that will fund our critical work and allow for the expansion of partnerships across our three pillars of Work with Purpose, Heal with Honor and Live with Hope.The Foundation was founded by philanthropists and business leaders Eugene and Ruth Freedman and today is managed by their three children Penny, Nancy, and Rick. The Family’s generosity has made a positive difference in the lives of untold numbers of veterans across the country over the years.This significant, long-term investment ensures success in Dixon Center’s model of moving to crisis prevention, rather than crisis intervention, particularly for women veterans. Dixon Center is deeply grateful and honored to have the continued trust of the Foundation.
