Wounded Warrior Project

In honor of Veteran's Day, WeTheHobby is partnering with the Wounded Warrior Project to support our nation’s heroes. We’re setting a goal to raise $20,000 in just one day, and to start things off, WeTheHobby will contribute the first $5,000 and match every personal purchase made on Nov. 11 with an additional contribution. Every donation will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project, helping provide life-changing programs and services to wounded veterans and their families. Join us in giving back to those who have sacrificed so much for us.

My name is Nolan Trautmann. Born and raised in New Jersey, I am a proud United States Army Infantry Veteran. Serving this great country brought me immeasurable pride and joy, from meeting some of the best men and women who stepped up and answered the call to service to experiencing things I never thought I would. My time in the Army gave me so many things in life from gaining a second family, the ability to become a better person, to living out some dreams. This year we aim to give back to something larger than ourselves.

For the past three years, myself, along with the help of countless family and friends, have been doing a project called 'The Christmas Crawl.' What we are able to do is spend Christmas Eve at multiple houses, multiple parties, to spend the night with as many loved ones as possible. For this fourth year, we wanted to do something special. This giving season, we are raising donations for The Wounded Warrior Project, an amazing organization that helps to give back to the men and women who risked everything for our freedom, country, and privilege to celebrate Christmas with our loved ones. We ask you to give as little or as much as you can this Holiday season to help give back to those that gave us their all! Thank you & Happy Holidays!

“There is more strength and bravery in asking for help than trying to do things by yourself. Wounded Warrior Project can be that extra hand to guide you and show you you’re not alone.”

The Wounded Warrior Project is a vital nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans who have suffered physical and psychological injuries during their service. Many of these brave individuals face challenges such as PTSD, mobility impairments, and difficulty transitioning back into civilian life. By funding programs like medical healthcare, mental health support, career counseling, and adaptive sports, this organization empowers wounded veterans to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose. Your contributions ensure that these heroes receive the care and opportunities they deserve after their sacrifices. Together, we can honor their service and help them thrive beyond the battlefield.

With a strong sense of community and a shared commitment to honoring veterans, these three students have joined forces to support a cause close to their hearts. Through various campus events, outreach, and a passion for service, they aim to make a meaningful impact for veterans in need. Their goal is not only to raise money but to inspire others in the Auburn community to recognize and support the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes.

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn Clark. I'm 23 years old and the proud daughter of Brandon L. Hawkins. My dad served our country as an Infantryman in the United States Army among numerous other honorable men and women and was honorably discharged after his many years of faithful service. He is my hero and the reason I have always been passionate about honoring our veterans.

I dream to someday turn Out of Darkness into a non-profit, bringing zealous and earnest drive to demolish the statistic of 22 a day and bring hope and healing to our hurting vets. 22 is the current number of how many veterans each day, take their life after service.

It is a grief beyond words to know that those who have made it home, are struggling to make it through one more day... and one more day... and one more day.

It is a grief we are responsible for responding to. It is not something we should bat our eyes at, maybe losing a tear, and saying a quick prayer about before getting back to the hustle and bustle of our day to day. If it were not for these men and women, sacrificing all, and then more, the hustle and bustle we are so easily consumed by, would not exist. Therefore this burden is ours too, to carry, and to carry with deep grief and hope for healing.

We should be moved into sincere action by this awareness and Out of Darkness is simply one way to move.

We will be doing a 2-day Ruck march on Saturday and Sunday, December 7th and 8th in honor of the 22 a day statistic, raising awareness for veteran suicide, PTSD, and depression. 100% of all donations will go directly to Wounded Warrior Project, an active organization that meets the needs of our veterans daily and fights to end veteran suicide after service.

We will march in light of 3 pillars that I believe exemplify God's heart and will for our struggling veterans and they are as follows:

FREEDOM FOR THE CAPTIVES.

VICTORY FOR THE TIRED FIGHTERS.

PEACE FOR THE MIND.

I believe that as we gather together, march with zeal and intercede upon each step, we will see God go forth and heal our courageous men and women, and restore what has been stolen from them, in the fullness of which can be seen on this side of heaven, and beyond.

This organization, fundraising and event is driven by Psalm 107:14 which says: "He brought them out of darkness, utter darkness, and broke away their chains."

There is truly hope, that our veterans can know light, where they have only known darkness. There is truly hope, that by raising awareness and support, our veterans can believe again, in the light that shines on all their tomorrow's.

Thank you sincerely for your contribution whether in person with us at the Ruck, and or, solely here by giving.

Please do leave your information, that a thank you card can be sent in the following weeks.

I am a veteran myself and want to raise money for those veterans in need.

These men and women risked their lives for our beloved country; they deserve our help. So please help those in need in our country that already needs help to help these soldiers in need. Thank you!!!!

Let’s help our troops this year by donating to the Wounded Warrior Project. This light show is managed by Cooper Van Wingerden, and my goal is to better our community and our country, one step at a time. If you could donate, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

All funds will go directly towards the Wounded Warrior Project!
