Save A Vet Now is a North Carolina based 501(c)3 non-profit currently serving Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties. We strive to combat the preventable veteran suicides that happen in our local communities. We do this in three ways; 1) raising the public's awareness of this hidden epidemic, 2) connecting with Veterans, and 3) contributing to the treatment of the factors underlying suicide ideation by conducting fundraisers that generate donations earmarked for the Coastal Horizons Veterans Outreach Program.

Mission Fit
7018 Market Street Wilmington
9600 Ploof road, Leland NC
Simply put, our mission is to provide and experience for the people that want their time in the gym to elevate their lives outside the gym.
That's why we aim to create a culture that focuses on longevity, simplicity and empowerment.
We are both military veterans (Preston was in the Marines and Jeff served in the Army) that decided to come together and build a home-grown and local fitness solution for those who simply want to live their best lives outside the gym.
By establishing fitness and working out as a central pillar within our daily lives, we are able to live life fully and without constraint.
