Guardian Revival’s fitness program, RISE, and Level Up Athletic Club have come together to create Guardian Strong - A community fitness event for awareness, hope, and healing, designed to benefit programs for veterans, active military, and first responders.

The Sierra Club highlighted our partnership in offering outings to veterans as one of their 2024 highlights. “From Alaska to Florida, our chapters are partnering with groups like Healing Hearts, Guardian Revival, YMCA, and the Wounded Warrior Project to deliver the benefits of the outdoors directly to participants.”

Putnam County Department of Parks and Recreation and Guardian Revival have been working over the past three years to make the Guardian Dog Park project happen. The 50,000-square-foot accessible and contained area will be used for residents to recreate with their dogs in a safe setting.
