Our Charity Commitment

Military Vs Cancer

5thwatch is proud to announce our partnership with Military Vs Cancer, a cause that holds deep significance for us. Committing to making a meaningful impact, we have donated 100 percent of all proceeds from selling our specially designed Military vs. cancer-themed watches and wallpapers to this noble cause. This initiative symbolizes our unwavering dedication to supporting our military community and their fight against cancer. It reinforces our belief that every timepiece sold is not just a watch; it's a testament to our solidarity and support for those who have served and those bravely battling cancer within their ranks. Together, through this partnership, we aim to drive positive change and bring hope to the lives of military personnel and their families affected by this relentless adversary.

While numerous military charities are dedicated to supporting veterans and their families, not all address the specific challenge of cancer. Military Vs. Cancer stands out as a charity with a laser-focused mission: to combat cancer within the military community. By directing resources towards cancer research, patient support, and awareness campaigns, 5thwatch can make a concentrated impact on an issue that directly affects its peers and colleagues.

Our Charity Decision

Supporting a charity as a company is more than just an act of corporate responsibility; it reflects the values and passions that drive the organization. For 5thwatch, a company run by veterans supporting the charity Military Vs Cancer, carries significant importance. Here's why it matters so much:

1. A Personal Connection: 5thwatch's connection to the military is deeply personal.

They've experienced the camaraderie, the dedication, and the shared sense of purpose that the military fosters. When a company like 5thwatch supports a charity, it's only natural to select one that resonates personally.

2. The Pervasiveness of Cancer: Cancer is a disease that touches the lives of countless individuals. It knows no boundaries, respects no age, and spares no demographic. The impact of cancer is felt in every community, including among military families. Many veterans and their loved ones have confronted this relentless adversary, either during or after their service. This reality underscores the importance of supporting cancer-related causes.

3. A Unique Mission: While numerous military charities are dedicated to supporting veterans and their families, not all address the specific challenge of cancer. Military Vs. Cancer stands out as a charity with a laser-focused mission: to combat cancer within the military community. By directing resources towards cancer research, patient support, and awareness campaigns, 5thwatch can make a concentrated impact on an issue that directly affects its peers and colleagues.

It signifies a commitment to the well-being of veterans and their families, extending the bonds forged during military service. This demonstrates that 5thwatch is not just a company but a community that cares about military personnel's challenges and struggles, even after their service.

5. Demonstrating Responsibility and Impact: As a veteran-owned company, 5thwatch has a unique platform to raise awareness about issues affecting the military community. By supporting a cause like Military vs. cancer, they can leverage their influence to encourage others to get involved and make a difference. This reflects a sense of corporate responsibility and the ability to inspire collective action.
