Laughing for a Cause: Project Brotherhood Resolve Featured on ABC12 News for Spooktacular Comedy Show

Our founder, Joseph Gemayel, and team member Jolene Copp sat down with anchor Matt Barbour to discuss our upcoming Spooktacular Comedy Show and the vital mission behind our organization: ending veteran homelessness and veteran suicide.

Watch the Full Interview Below:

A Mission Born from Service

During the segment, Joseph shared the deeply personal story that led to the founding of Project Brotherhood Resolve in 2016. As an Army veteran, Joseph experienced the tragic loss of a fellow soldier to suicide. That “knock on the door” from a higher power drove him to create a support system for veterans who are struggling.

“The purpose for Project Brotherhood Resolve right now is financial intervention—preventing homelessness and suicide,” Joseph told ABC12. He also shared our exciting future goal: moving into transitional housing for veterans within the next year.
