Emily Compagno Launches New Initiative to Support Veterans
December 13, 2024 — New York
Emily Compagno, co-host of Fox News’ Outnumbered and former NFL cheerleader, announced the launch of her new initiative, “Back the Brave,” a program aimed at supporting U.S. military veterans transitioning to civilian life.
Supporting Those Who Serve
The program, unveiled during a special segment on Fox News, focuses on providing legal assistance, career counseling, and mental health resources to veterans and their families. Inspired by her personal connection to the military — her great-grandfather was a decorated World War I veteran — Compagno expressed her passion for giving back.
“Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country. This is my way of ensuring they receive the support and recognition they deserve,” Compagno said during the announcement.
A National Partnership
“Back the Brave” is partnering with organizations such as the Wounded Warrior Project, Veterans Affairs, and private law firms to deliver services nationwide. The initiative will also host workshops and job fairs tailored to the unique needs of veterans.
A Personal Mission
Compagno has long been vocal about her admiration for the military, often highlighting veterans’ stories on her show. She revealed that the idea for this initiative came during her time touring overseas as an NFL cheerleader, where she performed for U.S. troops.
“Those experiences left a lasting impression on me. Seeing their dedication firsthand, I knew I wanted to find a way to make a difference,” she shared.
Celebrity and Political Support
The initiative has already garnered significant attention, with public endorsements from notable figures, including fellow Fox News colleagues and prominent politicians. Senator Tom Cotton praised the program as “a vital resource for our heroes in uniform.”
Looking Ahead
The first “Back the Brave” event will be held in February 2025 in Washington, D.C., with plans to expand to other major cities throughout the year.
Fans and supporters can learn more and contribute to the cause through the initiative’s official website.
Emily Compagno’s latest venture is yet another testament to her dedication to service and advocacy, continuing to inspire milli
ons both on and off the screen.
