Encouragement Booth: Amplifying Messages of Support

With support from Walmart, Face the Fight launched the Encouragement Booth, an interactive experience where individuals could record uplifting personalized messages for veterans. First introduced at the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) Conference, the booth brought together law enforcement, nonprofits and community leaders. A companion fireside chat featuring Chief Rodney Bryant, past National President of NOBLE, and Dr. Katy Dondanville of UT Health San Antonio explored stigma and support in high-stress professions. More than 60 messages were collected and later shared through social channels. Later in the year, the Encouragement Booth also traveled to NASCAR events and the Military Influencer Conference, helping amplify messages of care and connection.
