Organization Information
Mission Statement
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises.
Description
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake shakes Port-au-Prince. In the days following, two Marines, Jake Wood and William McNulty, decided to act. Gathering supplies and volunteers, the small group of veterans, first responders, and medical professionals deployed to Haiti. Crossing over the Artibonite River, the natural border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, the small team of eight volunteers called themselves "Team Rubicon" in reference to the Rubicon River in Rome - by crossing their Rubicon, the team acknowledged they were irrevocably committed to their task of helping those in need.
Team Rubicon is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that utilizes the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams. Founded in 2010, Team Rubicon has deployed across the United States and around the world to provide immediate relief to those impacted by disasters and humanitarian crises.
