PROGRAMS
Rally4Vets, the community outreach program of The Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network (DVEN), is dedicated to empowering veterans by fostering connections between them and supportive companies. Our mission is to provide veterans with the resources and camaraderie necessary for successful post-military careers.
We believe that the transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, and our goal is to ease this process by creating opportunities for veterans to connect, engage, and thrive. Through a variety of events and programs, we are building a robust support network that champions the well-being and success of our veteran community.
Expanding Programs in 2025:
-
Quarterly Film Screenings: In collaboration with Hollywood studios, we bring inspiring films that resonate with our community.
-
"Something in the Park:" Engaging events designed to captivate, entertain, and improve fitness.
-
Cars and Camo: These events celebrate the intersection of automotive and military cultures.
-
Networking Events: Creating connections between veterans and industry professionals for career growth.
-
Ambassador Program: A fun and engaging initiative where members represent Rally4Vets and spread our mission.

CARS AND CAMO
Car enthusiasts often find a home at Cars and Coffee events, showcasing unique vehicles and connecting with fascinating people.
Our spin on this is Cars and Camo. Our inaugural event aboard the USS Iowa in Los Angeles Harbor was a hit, featuring gems like a WWII armored car from the '70s Rat Patrol TV series.
Stay tuned for our spring 2024 event at the US Army Historical Museum in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. Check our calendar for the latest details.
THOUSAND-MILE ROAD RALLY
Inspired by the legendary Italian Mille Miglia, Rally4Vets is thrilled to announce the launch of our very own thousand-mile road rally series, dedicated to raising awareness and support for veteran suicide prevention.
While we hold immense respect for the Mille Miglia's rich history (learn more about it at Mille Miglia), we recognize the importance of safety.
Therefore, our Rally4Vets 1k events are never races but rather a thrilling journey, blending the spirit of the Mille Miglia with the resilience and endurance celebrated in the motorcycle community's Iron Butt award.
