About GYBN
Got Your Back Network (GYBN) is a 501(c)(3) foundation. The Network provides the children of our country’s fallen soldiers the opportunity to intimately interact with our country’s most talented leaders. Through diverse coordinated events, and one on one interactions with corporate executives, politicians, professional athletes, and entertainers, Got Your Back Network provides the avenue for the children of the fallen to learn and be inspired by the most successful leaders of our generation.
Got Your Back Network is founded by U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Andy Baldwin who has been honored on the Washington D.C. Most Influential People under 40 list in 2009, and Outside Magazine’s Top 100 Influential People of the World list in 2006. His true passion, though, lies with the families of our fallen soldiers.
We are joined on the executive by Bill Chatfield the former Director of Selective Service for President George W. Bush, as well as other Board Members whom represent an impressive mix of individual talents and professional backgrounds enabling them to provide governance of the highest quality. We also understand the necessity of providing the children with the opportunity to fulfill their individual dreams.
GYBN has relationships with Fortunate 500 companies, professional sports teams, Hollywood and Capitol Hill to name a few. In the last year the foundation has created and been involved in events with the New Jersey Nets, Disney World and the GI film festival. During the summer we will be collaborating on an event with OSU Tours at the NASCAR Texas Motor Speedway. Capitalizing on the extensive networks created by the founder, and leadership of the foundation, within the entertainment and professional sports industries, Got Your Back will organize special events and mentorship activities.
As our foundation grows, our vision is to meet the specific dreams of each child.
To maintain our success, Got Your Back Network relies on corporate sponsorships, individual donations, grants from foundations, business services, product donations and members promoting the work of The Got Your Back Network.
