Why We’re Here
As a sponsor or as an attendee, your support help fund songwriting and music arts therapy programs for female Veterans – including weekly classes, yearly retreats and song production.
Certain types of trauma are specifically related to the female military Veteran experience. Our all-female Trailblazer classes help female Veterans discuss their emotional and/or physical traumas in a safe, compassionate, peer-to-peer space. Through group sharing, creative expression and songwriting, female Veterans are given a voice, a place to be heard and a community that will listen, understand and be supportive.
The funds raised by FSUSA’s annual Trailblazer Luncheon helps to support these efforts, celebrates the contributions of our female Veterans and honors their stories. From our team and our all-female Trailblazer community, you have our sincerest thanks. Every day, in the lives of these Vets, your support is making a difference.

THE FIRST ALL-FEMALE VETERANS WELLNESS CLASS OF ITS KIND!

Our organization is one of the first to host an all-female veteran class, creating a safe space for women to share and be heard.
