Programs

What your support funds

Every jump raises money for two things: the research into developing durable solutions for traumatic brain injuries, and the help veterans and first responders can use right now.

Four programs, one mission.

From funding the science of TBI to putting veterans and first responders on healing retreats, each program moves us toward the same goal: fewer veterans and first responders lost to suicide.

Kiernan Wimmer TBI Innovation Initiative

In memory of Sgt. Kiernan Wimmer

Our flagship research program funds the work that helps diagnose and treat traumatic brain injury, the injury behind so many suicides. It targets all three stages of care: better diagnosis, better treatment, and continued recovery.

The initiative is run in partnership with the Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussion Center of University of Utah Health and the Brain Injury Research Center of Mount Sinai. Read about the partnership.

Branded Parachute Program

Put your brand in the sky

Fly your organization’s brand on a custom canopy at every 22 Jumps event. It is one of the most visible ways to back the mission, and it puts your name in front of every camera at the exit point.
