Service Project

Athens Elementary Playground Build

January 16, 2016

09:00 AM - 04:00 PM CST

San Antonio Platoon

Event overview

Athens Elementary School is one of the oldest elementary schools in San Antonio and they are in need of a playground revitalization for the older children that are 6+ years of age. We will also be revitalizing their baseball field and painting some fun games on the asphalt. We may even have enough room to plant some new shade trees to help in the summer. Please join the Mission Continues 2nd Platoon San Antonio, Team RWB and Wounded Warrior Project in providing safe, updated equipment for these children. The parents and staff will be very involved and are looking forward to the community effort. Please make sure to sign up at the link for continuity purposes.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
