Wounded Warrior Project

Throughout May, we are honoring our past and current military personnel by donating a portion of all our sales this month to the Wounded Warrior Project. We have partnered with WWP to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members and to help injured service members aid and assist each other.

The Wounded Warrior Project aims to "To foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history" by providing emotional and physical recovery, economic relief, and engagement with other wounded warriors. WWP 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.

"I always enjoy meeting other warriors – the connection to my brothers and sisters is like no other - it’s therapeutic and continuously helps me to adapt to civilian life and everyday struggles."

The Wounded Warrior Project offers many programs to injured veterans including a Combat Stress Recovery Program, WWP Packs, Project Oddysey, Solider Rides, and a Warriors to Work program, to name a few. WWP invites you to honor and empower Wounded Warriors by becoming a proud supporter.

 

Other oppurtunities to get involved with WWP include:

Learn More About Tough Mudder: Tough Mudder, a 10- to 12-mile obstacle course challenge, proudly supports WWP. To date, Tough Mudder participants have raised more than $5 million in support of the warriors we serve. A team of Wounded Warriors carrying the WWP flag is hosted at each event, so look out for them while climbing the Berlin Walls or running the Mud Mile!
