Spring Kickoff
The O.P.V. Spring Kickoff is an annual event started in 2016 as a way to give back to organizations that make an impact in providing assistance to Veterans in Central Texas.The life enrichment of volunteerism and the healing powers of finding a post-military passion is celebrated during Spring Kick off and has been crafted to honor an organization that has made strides in easing Veterans’ emotional transition.Each year a Veteran Non-Profit or Non-Profit with an established Veteran’s Program is nominated and O.P.V. holds an awareness fundraising campaign for the benefit of that organization.O.P.V. events complement our Three Pillars of Support: Social Connection, Community, and Mental Health.
