The Victory Bridge Foundation Story
History
Katie Katz's journey to serving our Nation's Heroes began with a deeply personal experience: the passing of her Air Force Veteran father from Parkinson's Disease when she was just 17 years old. This pivotal moment, on the cusp of her senior year of high school, ignited a passion within her to support and understand the challenges faced by those who serve.
​
Growing up, Katie witnessed her father's battle with Parkinson's, enduring its distressing side effects, including falls, tremors, speech impairment, hallucinations, dementia, and the loss of basic functions. Her father also struggled with PTSD, adding a layer of complexity to his condition.
​
Born and raised in Ohio, Katie now lives in Las Vegas, NV with her three children. She enjoys the performing arts, watching and playing sports, and volunteering her time to the elderly, as well as to our nation's heroes and their families.
Mission
Raising national awareness for mental health and wellness for our nation’s heroes, while providing vital resources, community, and support for all veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families.
