Volunteer

Volunteers offer the critical support patients need when at UCLA and throughout their healing journeys.

Thank You for Walking with Us

Every year from September 11 to November 11, Operation Mend holds the Walk with Us fundraiser to support our warriors. In 2023, we exceeded our goal of $30,000 and raised an astounding $46,808! Thank you to all of our walkers for your participation and commitment to honoring our nation's heroes.

Every dollar raised will help to provide world-class surgical and medical treatment, comprehensive psychological healthcare, and social support to our warriors. Treatment, travel to Los Angeles, accommodations, meals, and case management are provided at no cost to the warrior and caregiver.

Didn’t get a chance to walk with us and want to give a gift? You can still donate to Operation Mend.
