Wounded Warrior Project

Hi everyone! We are the Honeywell Veteran's Employee Network chapter located at NJ82, or Hamilton, NJ. We are sponsoring a pot-luck luncheon on Veteran's Day 2025. As part of this luncheon, we decided to run a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. To make it easier to donate to a worthy cause, we are running this fundraiser on GoFundMe.

Wounded Warrior Project

The mission of Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. Our vision is to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.

Wounded Warrior Project®

Hi everyone! We are a group of UNT Civic Engagement students raising awareness to help the Wounded Warrior Project®. This is a cause that each of us is connected to, either as a veteran or through family members of veterans.

Wounded Warrior Project® is a national nonprofit that serves post 9-11 veterans and service members living with physical injuries, invisible wounds like PTSD, and other combat-related challenges. The organization provides mental health counseling, career development, peer support, and adaptive sports programs that help warriors rebuild their lives and connect with the community.

Our vision is to deliver support to post 9-11 veterans to alleviate mental, physical, and economic challenges upon returning from active duty, through awareness and meaningful contributions from compassionate donors. Our goal isn't measured in dollars, it's measured in impact. While raising funds is part of this campaign, what matters most is reaching the people who need help the most. If this effort touches even one veteran who feels unseen, reminds one family they are not alone, or inspires one person to seek help, then we’ve already succeeded.

The transition after service isn’t always the joyful return people imagine. For many veterans, it's the start of a new kind of battle. The noise fades, the uniforms get stored away, but the memories don't. Some wake up from nightmares they can't shake, while others face daily chronic pain that won't go away. Finding work, reconnecting with family and friends, or even feeling like they belong can be harder than anything faced while in service. According to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (2023), about 17 veterans die by suicide every single day. The Wounded Warrior Project® (2024) reports that 63% of veterans reported symptoms of one or more mental health conditions, and 76% experience chronic pain that limits daily life. These numbers aren't just statistics, they represent Mothers, Fathers, Daughters, Sons, and friends who deserve better support after service. A person who wore the uniform and came home carrying more than just memories. Many of us know a veteran personally, and we’ve seen the quiet struggles that don't get talked about, the sleepless nights, the feeling of being left behind in a world that has moved on.

This campaign is our way of saying we see you. It is a reminder to every veteran that their sacrifices still matter and that they are not forgotten. Every donation, no matter how small, is a message of gratitude and hope. According to the Wounded Warrior Project® (2025), they have had the opportunity to help and represent over 185,000 warriors as of March 2023.

By contributing to this campaign, you're doing more than making a donation, you're extending a hand to someone who once risked everything for others. You're helping veterans rediscover purpose after the uniform comes off, offering the chance to heal wounds that aren't always visible. If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity, it means the world to us.

We are thrilled to welcome to Annual Conference Jennifer Jenkin, who will share her family’s deeply moving and inspiring story of how the Wounded Warrior Project provided life-changing support during their time of need. Her message is a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and hope that comes from standing together.

This year, we have a special opportunity to make a real difference. BrightStar Care is proud to kick off our campaign with a $5,000 donation and will match every dollar you give—up to $10,000.

Let’s unite as a BrightStar network to honor our veterans, empower their recovery, and show the impact we can make when we come together for a cause that matters. Together, we can help transform lives and inspire hope for those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

This year, I'm celebrating my birthday by giving back in a meaningful way. Instead of gifts, I’m asking my friends and family to support the Wounded Warrior Project. Their mission to honor and empower our wounded service members resonates deeply with me, and I believe we can make a difference together.

Hello everyone! My name is Nyle and I am a senior in the premedical program at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. On April 26, 2025, I will be running the Promise Land race in Bedford, VA. Promise Land is a 34-mile trail ultramarathon which takes place every year in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I am excited to be part of the race this year!

I plan to run in support of the Wounded Warrior Project organization, which is a nonprofit charitable foundation that exists to provide support to our nation's veterans who have sustained physical and mental trauma in the line of duty. I have run in support of Wounded Warrior Project in the past, and I am a firm believer in their purpose to help the veterans and their families to whom our nation owes so much.

Your support would mean the world to me and to those who benefit from the work of WWP! I would also appreciate your thoughts and prayers for my training and for our nation's veterans. Additionally, please consider sharing this fundraiser with friends and family to spread awareness of this cause!

If you would like to learn more about this fundraiser or follow along with my training, please feel free to contact me using the link provided below!

Hello, my name is Charlie Bennett. I'm 16 and live in New York, NY.

I'm excited to announce that this summer, my father and I will be walking the Camino de Santiago, a 277-mile pilgrimage in Spain, to raise $2,777 for the Wounded Warrior Project. We’d love for you to join us in supporting this great cause!

The Camino de Santiago is a historic journey, walked for over 1,000 years, symbolizing perseverance—much like the journey many wounded veterans face as they recover.

The Wounded Warrior Project helps veterans heal, offering programs for mental health, rehabilitation, and career support to improve their lives after service.

Your support will make a difference. You are welcome to donate 10c per mile (or roughly $28) but any donation helps, and we appreciate your generosity!

If you are able to donate we will update you on our progress...

Best,

Charlie

This is for a journey I have been on to find drive in every day life for fears, doubts, laziness and insecurities. Every single day you fight yourself and you are your own worst enemy! You want to sleep in cause your tired, it’s easier to get take away food cause you don’t want to cook a healthy meal, you don’t want to make your bed cause whose watching, you dont want to go on that run cause your tired and it’s rainy! Your mind plays trick on you to do what’s easiest for yourself! By challengeing yourself and doing what you say you will do will make you a better person every single day and sharpen your mind! If you just think, I want to do something then do it and don’t ignore that thought! No matter what you face! The mental toughness and discipline games continued to push me and lead me to running every day and furthermore to here. Continuing to drive! I want to complete a 52.4mile/84km run and raise money for the wounded warrior foundation this July! I thought I could do that so here we are no backing down now! These hero’s are fighting far greater challenges than I ever will, which is why I want to raise money and run for these service members and push myself to its limits! Please read below on what the Wounded Warriors Project stands for!
