Help Support the Wounded Warrior Project

Our neighbors, Mark and Connie, are organizing a Hockey-A-Thon to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. The last Hockey-A-Thon raised over $14,000 and their goal is to raise $20,000 this year. 

Wounded Warrior Project serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001 and their families.  In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment.  Here is where you can help.

The Wounded Warrior Project:

Helps injured service members
Provides service members with unique‚ direct programs and services to meet their needs.
Empowers and honors wounded warriors
Eases the burdens of the wounded and their families while they recover and transition back to civilian life
