Our Purpose

The attendees were a political candidate, veterans, small business owners, service providers, and family members of veterans.

Our Founder's Birthday Campaign
Letter from Our Founder
Hi!
Welcome to my Birthday Fundraiser for Camouflage Me Not (CMN)! My name is Erica N. Parks. It's my 43rd birthday!
Camouflage Me Not is my baby that I birth on February 18, 2018, out of the pain and challenges that I experienced after I left the military. I realized there were gaps, lack of resources, and support needed to help veterans and their families readjust in the civilian sector and thrive post-military life. We are becoming
a 501 (c)4 advocacy and lobbying nonprofit organization and currently looking for more founding board members.
I am asking for donations to support CMN using variations of numbers "4" and "3".
You can give in the following ways.
- $4.30;
- $43.00; or
- $430

"BOARD INFO SESSION"
ZOOM MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
“Every year, approximately 200,000 men and women leave the U.S. military service and return to life as civilians, a process known as the military to civilian transition.”~Veterans Benefits Administration
Now, that they have taken off their uniforms, “Don’t Hide Them or Throw Them Away!” Support the less than 1% of the American population that chose to serve our nation.
Veterans and their dependents need you to be an active part in advocating for the advancement of policies, procedures, and the resources needed to enhance their quality of life.
It’s a big deal considering the many sacrifices that they willing made for you to indulge in the opportunities that you have.
Hence, Camouflage Me Not (CMN) is looking for 6-8 professionals to serve as our founding board members. After two years, of being in our initiative phase, we are organizing to form as a 501(c) 4, an advocacy and lobbying nonprofit organization.
Erica N. Parks, MPH, CNP, Our CEO and Founder is hosting “Board Info Sessions” on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. EST for prospective candidates, upon request.
The sessions will include:
- Introduction and Overview of CMN
