Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP)

In December of 2012, IAVA launched the Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP). A forerunner to IAVA’s Quick Reaction Force, RRRP was a high-tech, high-touch case management and referral services program. We called it RRRP because it ripped through the bureaucracy – it was help without the hassle.

Storm the Hill

Storm the Hill is IAVA’s annual program where selected veterans, called “Stormers,” travel to Washington, DC, to meet with lawmakers and advocate for post-9/11 veterans’ issues. Through personal stories, they push for action on key concerns directly with representatives and senators.

Heroes Gala

IAVA’s Heroes Gala is an exciting evening of patriotism and inspiration. It’s our opportunity to recognize some amazing leaders who empower veterans. And it’s been an anticipated mainstay of Veterans Day events and culture for most of our 20 years!
