Host a Event for the Wounded Warrior Project

November 3rd, 2011 · No Comments · Veterans and Military

wounded warrior event kitOver the last two years we’ve seen a lot of citizens out on the streets demonstrating and voicing their opinions about this country and its government. It’s easy to take for granted that there are still hundreds of governments around the world where such dissent would be quickly, swiftly, and quietly shut down.

Veteran’s Day, 11-11-11, is around the corner. So it’s a good time to remember that the freedoms we enjoy today came at a great cost. Whether you look at Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, the cold war Communist Bloc, or today’s terrorists they all had one purpose: to impose their will on the rest of the world. And defending our right to stay free have been the men and women in uniform. Whatever you may say about the political leaders above them, one thing we can all agree on is that they are among the finest and bravest people in the world, whom we owe an awful lot to. And that goes even more for those who have been wounded in the call of duty.

If you’re looking to show gratitude, there’s a good way this November. Host and event for the Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP is an organization that helps wounded veterans get back to their feet and live their lives in good health.

By hosting a Believe in Heroes Party on or near Veterans Day 2011, families and communities across the nation can honor wounded warriors and their caregivers, and raise funds to support WWP programs and services. Supporters have the opportunity to purchase a party-in-a-box for $50, which contains all the supplies necessary to host a 10-person event. Participants can learn more and register their events at https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/Default.aspx?tsid=447.

The group who raises the most donations will receive a trip for four to a Wounded Warrior Project office, to tour the office and experience a WWP event. This package includes a two night stay at a local hotel, three meals a day, air travel, and car rental. WWP offices are located in Jacksonville, Florida, San Diego, California, Chicago, Illinois, San Antonio, Texas, Washington, DC, Seattle, Washington, and New York, New York.
