227 wordsBeing an avid gamer and the child of former federal agents who served in the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, it's no surprise that Zack DiNozzo chooses to work with StackUp. StackUp is a charity that seeks to help veterans by promoting positive mental health and combating veteran suicide through gaming and geek culture. StackUp has four pillar programs: Supply Crates, Air Assaults, The Stacks, and the Overwatch Program.
Supply Crates are video game packages full of the latest games and consoles that are delivered to deployed units and veterans. Air Assaults are all expense paid trips for veterans to attend events like E3, PAX, etc. The Stacks help bring comfort and friendship to veterans coping with PTSD or transitioning back to civilian life. The Overwatch Program is a 24/7 crisis intervention and peer to peer mental health support program for veterans and civilians alike.
DiNozzo spends a lot of his off-time volunteering to spend time with veterans via the Overwatch Program or by being a guide for veterans on Air Assaults as he enjoys being at E3, PAX, BlizzCon, and all the other geeky events you can think of. He also records videos that are played for veterans who receive Supply Crate, and sends autographed merchandise inside the crates, hoping to put a smile on the faces of those who serve in the United States military.
