Military & First Responder Support

Honoring those who have sacrificed

Service often comes at a cost. The physical demands, emotional toll, and lasting impact of military and first responder service affect not only the individuals who serve—but often, the people who love and support them.

At the Lift a Life Novak Family Foundation, we’re committed to supporting the health, well-being, and long-term success of service members, veterans, first responders, and their families across Kentucky. Whether through educational support, mental health care, or community-based programming, we invest in initiatives that recognize the profound impact of service—and provide meaningful, lasting support in return.
