Ambassadors

We’re creating an outstanding team of veterans, military families, and caregivers to raise awareness about the Robert Irvine Foundation. These friends volunteer their time to help Robert spread his vision. As Foundation representatives, they provide program updates and share their stories at speaking engagements and events.

The Purpose

Who They Are
The Robert Irvine Foundation Ambassadors are veterans, military family members, and caregivers who embody the strength, resilience, and compassion at the heart of our mission. Each Ambassador represents the spirit of service, continuing to give back by helping others find hope and connection.

What They Do
Ambassadors volunteer their time to share their stories, speak at events, and represent the Foundation in communities across the country. Their firsthand experiences bring authenticity to our mission, helping audiences understand the real-world impact of our programs.

Why It Matters
Through their voices, the Foundation’s message reaches farther and resonates deeper. Ambassadors inspire others to get involved, support our heroes, and believe that, together, nothing is impossible.
