2026 Graham & Courtney Rahal Foundation Vino For Vets Auction
Presented by Hendrick Automotive
This year's Vino For Vets proceeds will benefit Virginia High Performance (VHP) and Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas' new mission: Project Force Rahal.
The Mission: To push the boundaries of human performance through the measurement of holistic brain health and the training of deeper, more innovative, strategic thinking. This partnership integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with elite performance training to generate measurable, lasting cognitive gains.
The How: Special Forces Operations (SOF) veterans participate in the Continue Mission Program, a 4-week optimization program, at VHP. In addition to strength and conditioning, performance nutrition, and chiropractic sessions, veterans also complete the Center for BrainHealth's BrainHealth Index and its SMART (Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics) training program. The goals of Project Force Rahal are to address: (1) brain changes and how those correlate with behavioral and physical changes; (2) the impact of focused assessment and optimization tools for sleep; and (3) the durability of changes.
The Why: Project Force Rahal will collect and analyze, for the first time ever, data that correlates neuroimaging with behavior and physical metrics. This mission represents a focused and unique opportunity to collect longitudinal metrics that matter to SOF veterans and to translate this advanced neuroscience into meaningful, real-world outcomes that can directly inform performance, recovery, and long-term cognitive health.
