No One Fights Alone: Our Partners

98 Octane is powered by a network of mission-driven partners. From veteran-owned businesses to health-focused organizations, these partnerships fuel our ability to serve MFRs…Military, Veterans, and First Responders, every single day.

Why Partners

Partnerships are at the heart of 98 Octane’s mission

We believe it takes a united front to fight burnout, rebuild resilience, and provide MFRs with the tools they need to live longer, stronger lives. By working with allies who share our values, we expand our reach, deepen our impact, and ensure that no MFR has to face these challenges alone.

From farm-to-table food networks and veteran-owned companies to sponsors who believe in wellness and community, our partners help us transform words into action. Together, we build stronger communities, one initiative, one class, and one meal at a time.

PSU brings the kind of innovation and infrastructure that turns big ideas into bigger impact. Through shared education initiatives and wellness collaborations, we’re building a platform that trains the next generation of health-minded warriors.

Because at 98 Octane, we don’t just hand out checklists, we create curriculum. And PSU is a vital part of that educational firepower.

The PA DVA stands with us in a shared mission: making sure every veteran in Pennsylvania gets not just access to care, but to community, accountability, and long-term health.

Together, we’re building a bridge between government support and ground-level transformation. From food access to training cohorts, this partnership brings fuel and structure to those who’ve already given everything.

ROTC — reserve officers’ training corps

Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) develops future Army leaders through college-based training that blends academics, physical development, and leadership. The program supports cadets with scholarships covering tuition, books, and stipends while preparing them to commission as officers.

This partnership with 98 Octane aligns because both organizations invest in discipline, resilience, and mission-oriented leadership. ROTC builds leaders from the ground up—and 98 Octane fuels those leaders’ health, performance, and longevity.

American Red Cross — Greater Pennsylvania Region

In moments of crisis, the American Red Cross shows up fast, ready, and focused…just like the people we serve. Through our partnership with the Greater Pennsylvania Region, we’re not just responding to emergencies. We’re building a response-ready community of trained, fueled, and mission-driven first responders.

Together, we work to strengthen the front line by combining critical care, trauma readiness, and frontline nutrition. When the call comes in, we want responders who are already equipped: mentally, physically, and operationally.

It’s not about recovery. It’s about readiness.

Hungry (Food Solutions)

Hungry brings the heat…literally. As a food service partner, they help us scale our mission to feed MFRs (military, veterans, and first responders) across the country with clean, high-quality, chef-driven meals.

Their logistics and chef network let us take control of what goes into our cohorts’ bodies because burnout starts with blood sugar, and strength starts with satiety. With Hungry on board, we’re turning meals into medicine, one delivery at a time.

This isn’t catering. This is combat-ready nutrition.

From gut health to inflammation markers, CYTO gives us data to back our mission and proof that food, movement, and mindset can change a life from the inside out. Their tech meets our training, and the results speak for themselves.
