Lauren Monroe and Rick Allen founded Raven Drum Foundation in 2001.
Since then the foundation has been been honored to serve nearly 50,000 people, with half of those coming from the military community, through various programs, workshops, and retreats.
They’’ve allocated funds to 15 additional nonprofits that serve the military community and have explored 15 different methods of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies for healing trauma.
Raven Drum Foundation exists to serve, educate, and empower Veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors in their focused effort to prevent suicide through innovative wellness-support programs.
They contribute to global healing and community through advocacy, storytelling, and the promotion of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Part of the fundraising for the foundation is an auction of music memorabilia from world Class drummers called “12 Drummers Drumming”.
