Our Mission
Victory Bridge Foundation bridges the divide between military, veteran, first responder, and broader communities—fostering resilience, understanding, and lasting impact through mental health support, resource access, and collaboration.
Our Vision
A future where active-duty military veterans, first responders, and their families are fully supported by a strong, united community that ensures they not only overcome challenges but thrive in every aspect of life. We are building a movement that empowers not only families, but communities to lead alongside their heroes, creating pathways to care, resources, and connection that transform lives.
Our vision is one where those who serve and those who stand behind them are recognized, supported, and strengthened—together.

Programs
​Our programs challenge mental health misconceptions in media, film, and entertainment while offering peer support, resources, and holistic healing options.
Through our initiatives, we create a united voice, bridging gaps in mental health care and ensuring those who serve receive the support they deserve.
About
Katie Katz
The daughter of an Air Force veteran, Katie grew up with deep respect for her father’s service and the sacrifices it entailed. But behind the uniform and medals was a battle her family wasn’t prepared for—a battle against Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and untreated PTSD.
Her father’s last decade was marked by rapid decline, fear, and struggles that her family didn’t fully understand at the time. Without the right resources or guidance, they were left to navigate these challenges alone. He passed away when Katie was 17, leaving her to face not only his loss but also the harsh reality of how unsupported families like hers often are.
Determined to change the system, Katie founded Victory Bridge Foundation. This is her response to the gaps her family faced and her commitment to ensuring that no other family has to go through the same experience.
Katie's leadership is rooted in action, compassion, and the belief that it’s time to do things differently. Through Victory Bridge Foundation, she’s creating a path forward for veterans and their families, one that empowers them to thrive instead of just survive.
