“It’s nice to have somebody that’s like, ‘You are a caregiver. We do have your back,’” said Stacy Greathouse, caregiver for her husband, Army veteran and DAV 3rd Jr. Vice Commander Adam Greathouse.

Adam lives with post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury, among other injuries sustained during service. Across the country, many caregivers like Stacy dedicate their time and energy to caring for a loved one who served. Ensuring they have access to the support and resources they need is one of the many ways DAV works to improve the lives of veterans and their families. Contributions and sponsorships from organizations that support DAV help make that work possible.

The impact of those corporate sponsorships can be seen across DAV, from sponsoring DAV events that bring veterans and their families together to sponsoring DAV programs that provide support during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Humana is one example of an organization that has supported several DAV programs and services through generous contributions. For the past six years, Humana has provided financial support for DAV initiatives that help veterans, their families and their caregivers.

DAV Caregivers Support provides no-cost concierge resources to friends, family members and other loved ones who provide care to those who served, as well as veterans who are caregivers themselves.

“We want veterans to achieve their best health, and oftentimes that means that somebody else is helping to take care of them,” said Cara Brown, Humana’s director of key relationships. “Caregivers are under a significant amount of stress, and if they’re not taking care of themselves, there’s no way they can take care of our veterans who have earned and deserve the best care.”

DAV gives corporate sponsors the opportunity to participate in educational seminars during the DAV and Auxiliary national convention. For instance, at the 2026 convention, Humana presented “Leave Memories, Not Bills: Understanding Final Expense Insurance & VETECARE–The Fusion of Military and Medicare Benefits,” a seminar focused on helping veterans better understand end-of-life planning, insurance options, and the intersection of military and Medicare benefits.

For veterans and their families, topics like healthcare, insurance and future planning can be complicated. The informational seminar gave attendees an opportunity to learn about available resources and ask questions that can help them make informed decisions.

“We were excited to have the opportunity to share information that can help veterans and their families better understand their options and feel more confident planning for the future,” Brown said.

But supporting veterans isn’t limited to providing information and resources. Sometimes, it means creating opportunities for veterans and their families and supporters to simply come together.

For several years, Humana has sponsored the DAV 5K, an event designed to bring people together to honor and support ill and injured veterans. Humana continued that support this year as the DAV 5K’s 2026 Energy Sponsor.

That welcoming environment our corporate sponsors create is an important part of what makes the DAV 5K special. For some participants, it’s a chance to challenge themselves. For others, it’s an opportunity to honor a loved one or reconnect with the veteran community. And for many, simply being surrounded by people who understand and appreciate military service creates a meaningful sense of belonging.

“The DAV 5K is a special opportunity to bring veterans, their families and supporters together while promoting health, wellness and connection,” said DAV National Adjutant and CEO Barry Jesinoski. “We appreciate their support of an event that celebrates the veteran community and creates an experience where everyone can participate.”

DAV is grateful to Humana for the many ways it has supported DAV and our mission.
