About Us
Healing through laughter, the arts, and wind therapy.
Healing Has Many Roads
What started as one family’s journey through trauma, recovery, and resilience has grown into a movement built on one simple promise:
No one fights alone.
CEW1775.org is a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans, first responders, and their families discover alternative paths to healing. We understand that not everyone connects with traditional therapy, and that’s okay. Healing isn’t about checking a box—it’s about finding what brings you back to life.
Whether it’s the freedom of a motorcycle ride, the peace found through art, the medicine of genuine laughter, or the bond created by people who simply “get it,” we believe every connection matters.
Through community events, creative programs, peer support, and opportunities for wind therapy, we’re creating a culture where people don’t just survive—they rediscover purpose, rebuild relationships, and reclaim joy.
When you support CEW1775.org, you’re doing more than donating to a nonprofit. You’re helping provide hope, connection, and healing to those who have spent their lives serving others.
Together, we’re proving that healing has many roads.

Jimmy & Beth’s Story
Our organization is co-founded by Jimmy and Beth King. The mission is rooted in the personal journey of Jimmy King, a decorated and highly dedicated veteran of the United States Marine Corps. In 2004, while serving bravely in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack tragically took one of Jimmy’s legs. The path through recovery was — and continues to be — a monumental fight, not just for Jimmy, but for Beth as his devoted spouse and caregiver.
But amidst the surgeries, the therapy, and the dark moments of despair, Jimmy and Beth discovered an unexpected, yet essential, lifeline… humor. CEW1775 was born from their shared realization that this powerful, often overlooked, method of healing needed to be shared. Through our programs, we create environments where veterans and their spouses can drop their guard, share their experiences without judgment, and use humor to break down the walls built by trauma and isolation.
“When you can find a reason to laugh at your situation — even the toughest one — you take back a piece of yourself the injury tried to steal. That laugh is defiance. That laugh is healing.”— Jimmy King
