Seattle Seahawks Task Force 12
Task Force 12
Providing Life Changing Support To Our Military Family
The Pacific Northwest is home to the 7th-largest military presence in the NFL: making up almost 18% of the WA state population. With six major military installations within 60 miles of Lumen Field, hundreds of thousands of service members, veterans and their loved ones call our area home. That's why the Seattle Seahawks and 12 local grassroots military non-profits are joining forces to create Task Force 12: a "family" of support.
Task Force 12 stands ready to provide support and services to ALL veterans and their families: inclusive of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, military branch, and/or disability status. Together, Task Force 12 and the Seahawks understand that every service member and veteran have a different background, heritage, or lived experience. Our services are designed to address each person's unique needs. We work to overcome barriers to veteran support and promote a culture of compassion and mutual respect to all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Task Force 12 Resources
Support #Strength2Rise
The Seahawks Task Force 12, VA Puget Sound Health Care System, and Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) have joined together in a grassroots campaign known as #Strength2Rise to help reduce suicide in our military and Veteran communities. No single agency can tackle this problem on their own, and we must all come together to reach out to those Service Members, Veterans, and their families (SMVF) who are in need. Finding the #Strength2Rise is just the beginning.
