Event overview

The Mission Continues will be hosting a national service project at Crandon Park on Saturday, January 27th, as part of our Alpha 2018 Orientation. Donated to Miami Dade County in 1940, Crandon Park is one of the country's best preserved natural beaches and wildlife sanctuaries, and is a popular location for all of South Florida's diverse community. Due to substantial hurricane damage and cutbacks in state funding, Crandon Park is in need of our help. Military veterans from across the country will join the Miami Service Platoon, the Florida Panthers Foundation and community volunteers to help preserve and protect Crandon Park by completing the following: - Restore sand dunes damaged by Hurricane Irma by planting 3,000 sea oats - Repurpose the old Miami Zoo exhibit grounds through landscaping projects, painting and bench building - Conduct beach cleanup and trail repair along Crandon Park Beach - Revive outdoor roller rink by adding a fresh coat of paint and refurbishing picnic tables Come out and serve alongside The Mission Continues during an incredible afternoon. See you there!

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
