There’s something reassuring when you know that someone has #GotYour6. Hopefully, you know that feeling! When someone has your “6” you know that they are watching your back, looking out for you, and they have your best interest in mind. That is how we have felt as we have received the support from Harry’s! They have been and they continue to be an extremely special and supportive corporate partner of ours.
As a brand that’s laser-focused on increasing access to mental health resources for guys, Harry’s partners year-round with an incredible group of nonprofits, including those that support veteran mental health. To date, they’ve donated over $2M and reached 127k+ veterans, servicemembers, and their families.
One of the most recent expressions of their support has been including us in Mammoth Brands' #GotYour6 campaign. It is happening now, and it is something that you can easily join!
Make Your Bicep Curls Philanthropic
Starting July 6, your favorite exercise can become a way to raise money in support of the military community. The steps are simple:
Record and post a video of yourself doing 6 reps of your favorite exercise between July 6 and July 19.
Tag #GotYour6 and add the branch of the military you are supporting (ex: #MarinesGotYour6).
Tag a few of your friends to participate in the challenge.
Harry’s will donate $6 per post.
Think about it: Your 6 pushups could help ensure funding for veterans in need. Running for 6 miles could garner funding for our military community. Or, doing 6 burpees could create awareness while also generating a donation. It is really exciting to think that you can easily take action with us, for the benefit of our veterans and service members, through the Mammoth Brands #GotYour6 campaign. Your reps can really add up!
Impact that is Good for Us and Good for YOU
We are grateful for funding that contributes to our mission-critical work serving the military community in moments when they need it most. We are also grateful for how this campaign is encouraging others to engage in behavior and activities that support their health. The campaign celebrates activity, and we know that exercise and movement is good for mental health! It is also encouraging connection, as the broader community comes together around the #GotYour6 initiative. Connection, community, movement, and activity - these are all things that help facilitate positive mental health.
Everyone Can Do Something
Another aspect of this campaign that we really appreciate is how it emphasizes that everyone can do something to create an impact. Often big issues can feel overwhelming. However, as we each take one step forward to a solution we collectively make a large impact. As our organization focuses solely on solving suicide within the military community, which is undoubtedly a huge and wicked problem, we find so much hope in the many ways people choose to support us. Harry’s is facilitating a meaningful campaign that invites others to take action on behalf of veterans everywhere - and that energizes us!
