about usWelcome to MAD for Vets, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans through charitable contributions and community engagement. Founded by Melanie Dubendorff, a proud Texan and Blue Star Mom, MAD for Vets is driven by a deep passion for honoring and supporting our military service members.
At MAD for Vets, our mission is simple: to make a positive impact in the lives of veterans by raising funds for various veteran organizations in the Houston, Texas area. We believe in the power of community, and we're committed to hosting engaging events that not only raise vital funds but also foster connections and awareness. Throughout the year, MAD for Vets hosts several signature events that bring together supporters, veterans, and businesses alike. In the fall/winter, we organize a dynamic duo of events—an exhilarating 5K Run/Walk and an enchanting Masquerade Ball. These events serve as opportunities for our community to come together, have fun, and contribute to a worthy cause. In the spring, we host the Military Market, a platform that showcases and supports veteran-owned businesses. This event not only promotes entrepreneurship within the veteran community but also provides attendees with the chance to discover unique products and services while supporting local veterans. At MAD for Vets, we are always seeking to expand our network and collaborate with veteran-owned businesses and military groups. We believe in the strength of partnerships and the importance of building relationships within the community. Whether you're a veteran entrepreneur, a military group, or simply someone who shares our passion for supporting veterans, we welcome the opportunity to connect and work together. Thank you for visiting MAD for Vets. Together, let's continue to honor and support our veterans, one event at a time. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those who have served our country with courage and dedication. |
