A nonprofit supporting hospitalized Veterans and celebrating women who served.
Pin-Ups For Vets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2006 by Gina Elise. It raises funds to improve Veterans' health care and donates to VA hospitals for medical equipment and program expansion. Its annual calendar features female Veterans posing as pin-ups; the 2027 calendar is its 21st edition.
What they do
- Bedside visits: volunteers have visited 25,000 ill and injured Veterans at their bedsides in more than 135 VA hospitals, military hospitals, and State Veterans Homes in all 50 states.
- Rehab equipment: donations of rehabilitation equipment to VA and military hospitals nationwide.
- Homeless Veterans: clothing and gifts delivered to shelters.
- Women Veterans and military wives: morale-boosting makeovers.
- Deployed troops: care packages.
