ABOUT THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT
The Wounded Warrior Project is a national IRC § 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Through the generous donations of private citizens, organizations and corporations, wounded warriors are provided opportunities that empower them such as: outdoor activities that teach them how to enjoy activities with family or friends without the need for special equipment; the WWP Disabled Sports Project is a partnership between the Wounded Warrior Project and Disabled Sports USA to provide year round sports programs for severely wounded service members from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts and the Global War on Terrorism; or ongoing training that eases the transition to civilian life. This support is also complemented by both grassroots and national events hosted for the Wounded Warrior Project by volunteers and organizations nationwide. Visit their website here: https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/
This promotion is sponsored by Brian L.A. Wess, who is solely responsible for its fulfillment.
