At Veteran Recreation Ohio, our mission is simple: connect veterans through recreational therapy programs that restore purpose, rebuild strength, and create lasting community. From fly fishing to hiking to yoga, we believe these experiences not only promote healing, but also help veterans reclaim peace, purpose, and joy in the country they once fought to protect.
To launch this mission, we are opening our Founding Member Fundraiser — a chance for supporters to step in at the ground level and make a direct impact. Every donation tier comes with meaningful, high-quality items as a thank-you, and each level builds on the one before it.
Tier 1: High-quality vinyl sticker with the Veteran Recreation Ohio logo.
Tier 2: Sticker + a gray hat embroidered with the traditional logo.
Tier 3: Sticker + limited edition red, white, and blue embroidered hat + limited edition blue “Founding Member” t-shirt (pocket logo on front, full logo on back).
Tier 4: All of the above + a limited edition 9 ft 5 wt fly rod, handcrafted by an Ohio local disabled veteran.
This fundraiser is more than just merchandise — it’s an invitation to be part of something bigger. By becoming a Founding Member, you are directly helping to fund recreational therapy programs that empower Ohio veterans to heal and reconnect. Your support not only provides life-changing opportunities for veterans, but also establishes you as a cornerstone of our growing community.
Now is your chance to stand with us, honor our veterans, and help shape the future of Veteran Recreation Ohio. Together, we can bring purpose, strength, and joy back into the lives of those who served.




This is a big deal, and an important mission. Veteran Recreation Ohio (VRO) is focused specifically on Ohio veterans, connecting and building upon that connection through recreation, teamwork, and that close bond/community that is important to all of us. This initial fundraiser builds the base for many good things to come. It is a "grass roots effort" to give back and contribute towards these efforts.
Why VRO? VRO was founded by Ohio veterans for Ohio veterans. Your donation specifically benefits Ohio veterans, bringing purpose, strength, and joy back into the lives of those who served. Personally, I have witnessed and experienced the benefits of some of these recreational therapy programs. Through your generous donation we are able to move forward…
