What began in 2024 as a single sunrise class at the Jefferson Memorial and has since grown into a twice-weekly gathering. Project Sunrise 2025 expanded its offerings to Tuesday sunrise class at the Lincoln Memorial and a Thursday sunset class at the Jefferson Memorial.

These sessions are donation-based, open to all levels, and centered on fostering personal growth while building a supporting community. Each class offers a moment to reset, reflect, and move with purpose - while contributing to a greater cause.

All profits go to 501(c)(3)s dedicated to service member wellness. In 2025, we gave our profits to Operation: Heal our Heroes, an organization dedicated to combating veteran suicide.
