Carry The Load is a non-profit organization that exists to preserve the sanctity of Memorial Day through community gatherings and storytelling to unite Americans in appreciation for the sacrifices made by a few who carried the load for all. What started in 2011 as a grassroots effort by two veteran U.S. Navy SEALs has now grown into a nationwide movement with people honoring and remembering our nation’s heroes throughout the year.
Your donations help Carry The Load provide healing for families in North Texas by sharing stories of service and sacrifice and uniting all Americans to show support for our warriors.
Carry The Load’s mission is to preserve the sanctity of Memorial Day through community gatherings and storytelling to unite Americans in appreciation for the sacrifices made by a few who carried the load for all.
Funds are needed to further develop our programs to provide events, initiatives, and programs to educate our nation on Memorial Day as well as provide communities the opportunity to gather to tell stories of gratitude about those who sacrificed their personal freedoms for the benefit and freedom of all.
To provide informed, authentic leadership for cultural equity, Carry The Load strives to:
See diversity, inclusion, and equity as connected to our mission and critical to ensure the well-being of our staff and those we serve.
Acknowledge and dismantle any inequities within our policies, systems, programs, and services, and continually update and report organization progress.
Advocate for and support board-level thinking about how systemic inequities impact our organization's work, and how best to address that in a way that is consistent with our mission.
Help to challenge assumptions about what it takes to be a strong leader at our organization, and who is well-positioned to provide leadership.
Practice and encourage transparent communication in all interactions.
Commit time and resources to expand more diverse leadership within our board, staff, committee, and advisory bodies.
Lead with respect and tolerance. We expect all employees to embrace this notion and to express it in workplace interactions and through everyday practices.
