What is Raised for Honor?
Raised for Honor is a 501(c)(3), non-profit foundation supporting and encouraging individuals who want to enter the military, state department, intelligence communities, or military healthcare system. It was launched on July 6, 2023 in memory of CW2 Michael *Goody* Goodboe SEAL (ret.).
Goody spent 32 years in service to his country. His life's work was to protect what he loved: his family and friends, our freedoms and this country. Of particular importance to Goody was the next generation of warriors, whether sharing his knowledge and experience on the job, proctoring formal instruction programs or mentoring the children of friends and friends of friends who aspired to a life of military service.
After Goody was killed, family and friends sought out other foundations and organizations with the mission to support those who wanted to pursue a life in the military, intelligence community or combat medicine. We researched or contacted upwards of nearly 100 not-for-profits - all doing great work for veterans and their families, but none aligned with our, and more importantly Goody's vision - to assist and support those who were not yet part of the community but wanted to be.
Raised for Honor supports those committed to a life of service through academic tutoring or physical training for high schoolers entering the military; scholarships for ROTC students; development of specialized training programs to better prepare medical professionals for the next conflict; or simply providing one-on-one guidance to individuals navigating careers in these fields. We also work to introduce these opportunities to students who have never known someone who has served. This is a continuation of Goody's legacy - protecting this great nation by encouraging the best and the brightest to choose this path; by supporting those who will be Raised for Honor.
How will the money raised be used?
In our initial year, Raised for Honor has committed to supporting scholarships for university ROTC and military high school programs. We made this commitment because, while many people assume students enrolled in ROTC programs have their schooling paid for, often this is not the full story. ROTC programs offer scholarships, which may cover tuition, fees and other things, but scholarships are not guaranteed. It's a competitive process. Think of ROTC sort of like football - not every player is on scholarship, and not every scholarship covers 100% of tuition, fees, books, room and board.
