In 2017, Phil and Julie Taub started Swimming With A Mission, Inc. (SWAM), and in just six years, SWAM has raised more than $12.5 million, creating critical funds needed to strengthen local veteran service organizations, that together have provided tens of thousands of veterans additional access to food, shelter, jobs, scholarships, service dogs, art therapy programs, equine immersion programs and recreational retreat therapy.  Under the Taubes’ leadership, SWAM has partnered with Governor Sununu and organizations like Easterseals to create a campus of affordable housing in Franklin, NH, that will also house many of NH’s veteran service organizations. SWAM published a book about the sacrifices of our veterans called “Portraits of Sacrifice and Bravery,” and has created a “Never Forget” campaign to honor New Hampshire warriors and their Gold Star families.
