We Salute Our Warrior SPONSORS
The fight against the invisible enemy takes courage and a relentless resolve to hold the federal government responsible for the injuries and deaths suffered by military and civilian personnel who served on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) and their families.
It takes powerful allies to help pass legislation that finally ensures health care and compensation for NTTR victims. It also takes significant financial support to help fund our ongoing advocacy efforts and operations.
The Invisible Enemy is proud and privileged to work with outstanding individuals and organizations that share our mission and our battle to accomplish it. They are far more than sponsors. They are our Warrior Sponsors.

BRAND Ltd.
In just over two years, The Invisible Enemy is on the threshold of achieving one of our major objectives: the passage of federal legislation to recognize the veterans who served on the NTTR, make their service and medical records available to the Veterans Administration, and enable them to claim long-overdue veterans benefits.
We simply could not have come so far, so fast without BRAND, our marketing and communications partner located in Las Vegas.
BRAND has been a trusted and powerful ally since day one. CEO Virginia Martino is a founding TIE board member whose business experience and marketing expertise helped shape our organizational structure and growth strategies. Her team created our name, logo, website, marketing and advocacy presentations and materials, and more.
They developed and communicated our story to veterans, the media and lawmakers, and helped us exposed the truth about the injuries and injustice suffered by NTTR veterans and their families to millions across America and around the world. They also develop and promote our fundraising events.
BRAND has done all this without accepting one penny for their services. They are fearless, selfless, tireless and totally dedicated to our mission. That’s the very definition of a true Warrior.
Marie Grimmer's GTOi
We are proud to welcome Grimmer Technologies and Operations, Inc. (GTOi) to our fight against the invisible enemy. CEO Marie Grimmer and her expert, fully-cleared team of military veterans develop and operationalize comprehensive, state-of-the-art enterprise IT and cyber security solutions, as well as program management, training and quality assurance services for the Department of Defense, DoD contractors and other public companies.
As a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, Grimmer was frustrated by the time-consuming, inefficient policies and processes that often failed to deliver advanced, mission-critical technologies to the soldiers who needed them. By the time many of these “cutting-edge” tools were operationalized, they were no longer cutting edge and could not provide strategic or tactical advantage.
GTOi’s deep expertise and military experience ensures the DoD’s IT and cyber security backbones maximize capabilities, efficiencies and long-term utility. They are committed to creating and maintaining the technical superiority required to effectively protect our soldiers and our country from any threats.
GTOi is also committed to veterans and donates a portion of their annual profits to worthwhile nonprofit organizations focused on meeting the diverse needs of those who have served. We’re grateful that GTOi is “all in” on The Invisible Enemy, championing our mission in the DoD and the private sector, and supporting our fundraising and legislative efforts. They are real warriors who serve real warriors.
Leadership Henderson
Leadership Henderson 2026 + The Invisible Enemy
A Partnership Built on Leadership, Service and Lasting Impact
The Invisible Enemy is honored to be selected as the 2026 Community Project by Leadership Henderson, the Henderson Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s premier leadership development program. Each year, this prestigious program chooses one nonprofit whose mission, impact, and urgency resonate deeply with emerging community leaders. We are humbled and grateful that the Class of 2026 has chosen to stand with us.
This partnership represents far more than a project, it is the beginning of a powerful movement to elevate awareness, amplify advocacy, and expand support for the men and women who served on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) and now face lifelong consequences from toxic exposure.
Why This Partnership Matters
Leadership Henderson brings together passionate, service-oriented professionals committed to building a stronger Southern Nevada. Their decision to support The Invisible Enemy signals the significance of our mission and the growing call for statewide and national recognition of NTTR veterans’ struggles.
Through this collaboration, the Leadership Henderson Class of 2026 will:
- Lead a 9-month community project that mobilizes awareness, volunteers and resources.
- Help raise funds to complete The Invisible Enemy: Hidden Sacrifice, a feature-length documentary illuminating decades of untold stories.
- Develop and support our first annual fundraising event, launching alongside the film’s 2026 private screening.
- Engage corporations and community leaders to support legislative advocacy and veteran assistance programs.
Together, we are building a foundation for long-term impact, storytelling, and justice.
An Invitation to Corporate Partners
As Leadership Henderson rallies behind this cause, we invite major corporations, philanthropists, and community leaders to join them.
Corporate sponsorship of this initiative offers:
- Meaningful Impact: Support veterans and families affected by NTTR exposure, individuals whose sacrifice has gone unseen for too long.
- High-Visibility Exposure: Sponsors will gain exposure through the film private screening, media partnerships, community events, and the Leadership Henderson network.
- Community Leadership: Align your brand with a mission rooted in justice, public health, legislative action, and honoring military service.
- Collective Momentum: By joining Leadership Henderson’s efforts, corporate partners directly accelerate federal recognition, healthcare access, and compensation for those harmed at the NTTR.
This is an opportunity for companies to demonstrate corporate citizenship at the highest level — supporting a cause with profound local roots and national importance.
Our Gratitude to Leadership Henderson Class of 2026
We extend our sincere thanks to the Leadership Henderson Class of 2026 for selecting The Invisible Enemy as this year’s community project. Their passion, commitment, and leadership energize our mission and bring new strength to our fight for justice.
"As conversations about Nevada’s nuclear testing legacy re-enter the national spotlight, this partnership arrives at a pivotal moment," said Dave Crete, Chairman of The Invisible Enemy.
Together, we will honor the fallen, uplift the survivors, and ensure their stories are never forgotten.

Three Square Las Vegas
Three Square Las Vegas is the largest food bank and hunger relief organization in Southern Nevada. Its mission is to provide food assistance to residents, especially those facing economic hardship and food insecurity.
The organization operates through an extensive network of community partners and programs that collects, warehouses and distributes food to across Southern Nevada. It serves individuals and families directly through its mobile food pantries, and supports many other area food pantries, soup kitchens and schools.
Since 2022, Serving Our Kids and Three Square have been strategic partners, working together to optimize our operations and resources to best serve food-insecure elementary and middle school children throughout the valley.
Our partnership enables Serving Our Kids to source and purchase much of the food we include in our weekend meal bags at a lower cost. This helps us to make the most of the donations we receive and maximize the numbers of students we serve. Three Square has also provided generous in-kind donations to help support our operations.
