Our History

First Coast Heroes Outreach was started 11 years ago by a group of Marine Corps veterans with a mission to give back to the veteran community. Over the years they have contributed more than $50,000 to support veterans in need. They realized over time that first responders were also struggling with some of the same issues. In 2021, Major Teddy Colegate (USMC, Ret.)  expanded the mission to target active duty military and first responders. 

Our founders understand the stigma surrounding living with PTSD and the need for assistance through confidential and continued care.  They have put all their resources, partnerships, and experience together to create a platform that will ensure the well being of those actively serving our community and this country.
