Between the tug of war, obstacle course, capture the flag, and push up competitions, there's something for everyone: musical chairs, yard games, card and board games, dancing, and more.

?? Bring Your Picnic

Bring your own picnic food! WE WILL NOT HAVE FOOD VENDORS

?? Why This Adult Recess Matters

Many veterans face isolation, disconnection, and loneliness after service. That disconnection makes our transition harder. It affects how we find work, build new routines, form friendships, and settle into civilian life. Without people around us, acclimating to the civilian world takes longer and costs more, mentally and physically.

The connections we build at events like this, with other veterans and with the community, help us adjust, find our footing, and know we’re not doing it alone.

Founded by one of your own. Let’s Get Social Raleigh Foundation, a 501(c)(3) social wellness nonprofit, was founded by a retired Marine who went through it herself and built LGSRF so no one else has to figure out civilian life alone.

LGSRF wants to say thank you by creating opportunities for veterans and the community to have fun, relieve stress, reconnect, and access valuable veteran and community resources.

For one afternoon, veterans and civilians come together through the things that make us human: play, friendly competition, laughter, and connection.

?? Vendor Opportunities

We're looking for vendors who are veteran-serving organizations, resources, and service providers who want to connect directly with veterans and their families.
