Since 2009, the 1st LT Jared M. Landaker Memorial Foundation has worked tirelessly to fulfill a vision close to our hearts: sponsoring children of military members to attend Camp Whittle in Big Bear Lake.

That first year, we proudly sponsored 16 children. Year after year, that number grew—and today, we sponsor over 200 children annually. Since the beginning, we’ve had the honor of sending more than 6,000 children to summer camp.

These camps give kids a chance to step away from the challenges at home, explore the outdoors, learn new things, and connect with others who understand what it’s like to have a parent who is fallen, wounded, active duty, reserve, or currently deployed.
