On November 11, the nation pauses to thank the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day honors every veteran, from every branch and every generation, for the commitment they made to protect our country.
For us, this day carries special meaning. As a veteran-owned firm, many of us know what it means to serve, and to make the transition from military life to a civilian career. We also know that the support veterans need does not begin or end on a single day.
Whiskey for Warriors: Celebrating Service Together
Each year around Veterans Day, CAVU and our partners at True North come together in New York City for Whiskey for Warriors.
Whiskey for Warriors is a networking and fundraising evening that brings clients, partners, and friends together to celebrate veterans. It is a chance to honor service, share stories of resilience, and recognize the nonprofit organizations working every day to improve the lives of veterans and their families.
Past events have highlighted organizations such as Dog Tag Inc., the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, Stay in Step, and Merging Vets & Players. Each one serves veterans in a different way, from education and employment to rehabilitation and peer support.
The evening is a celebration. But its purpose is practical: making sure the organizations closest to veterans have the resources they need to keep doing their work.
Why Support Can't Be Seasonal
Veterans Day brings well-deserved attention to the military community. The challenges many veterans face, however, continue all year.
Transitioning service members are building new careers. Veterans with service-connected injuries are pursuing recovery and rehabilitation. Military spouses and caregivers are balancing work, family, and care. Some veterans and their families are struggling to cover basic needs.
Those needs do not follow a calendar. That is why we believe gratitude is most meaningful when it becomes a consistent commitment.
How CAVU Gives Back Year-Round
At CAVU, giving back is built into how we do business. Through our Impact Pledge, we dedicate 10% of gross revenues from the CAVU Money Market Fund Share Classes and the Capital Markets DCM business to our Impact Partners.
That structure means support continues every month, not only during the holidays or around Veterans Day. As our business grows, our ability to give grows with it.
Our commitment also goes beyond financial contributions. CAVU team members volunteer their time and share their professional experience with partner organizations throughout the year. In 2025, our team contributed 684 volunteer hours and CAVU contributed $786,201 to nonprofit partners.
Partners such as Dog Tag Inc. and True North help veterans, military spouses, and caregivers through education, employment, adaptive sports, and rehabilitation. Their work reminds us that real support is steady, personal, and long-term.
Thank You for Serving, and for Serving Alongside Us
To every veteran: thank you for your service and sacrifice. To military families and caregivers: thank you for the strength you bring to that service.
To our clients and partners: thank you for making this work possible. Every relationship with CAVU helps support the organizations that stand beside veterans long after Veterans Day has passed.
This November, we raise a glass to those who served. And we recommit to supporting them all year long.
