Our Mission:
Suicide Prevention
The Spartan Sword and Spartan Axe were both forged from recovered steel that was part of World Trade Center Buildings that fell on 9/11.
Both were created to inspire veterans and first responders to take the "Spartan Pledge" - a promise written by Iraq War Veteran, Boone Cutler, which is made between veterans to not commit suicide without reaching out to their battle buddy first. On August 15th, 2020 the 9th NYPD officer of the year committed suicide.
Together, veterans of the U.S. Military, NYPD and FDNY are making this dramatic effort towards suicide prevention via the SpartanSword.org, a 100% volunteer effort with no paid staff or overhead. The SpartanSword.org needs your support to fund the travel of the Sword and the Axe and their escorts to various veteran and first-responder events across the country where they will save lives.
Because of the targeted needs for this mission, SpartanSword.org will never hold more than $100,000 in its bank account for a 90-day period and will not accept donations whenever this limit is met. We measure success in the number of lives we save and not by the number of dollars in the bank.
Donate to Spartan Sword today to help move this cause forward and transport the sword to military and first responder suicide-prevention events across the nation.
Your donation is tax deductible.
