Rise Up Campaign
The mission at RISE Up Academy is to inspire wounded warriors to realize their full potential and live life EXTRAORDINARY. The initiative is founded on three guiding principles:
* Building resiliency with connection
* Aligning life with purpose
* Healing through service
History of RISE Up Academy:
Founder and Program Director Harry Bologna served 22 years in the U.S. Navy Special Operations, as a Master Chief (SEAL). After retiring from the Navy, Bologna went on to serve as a defense contractor, when he was severely injured by a land mind in Afghanistan on October 22, 2015. Through the incredible efforts by the team that saved his life on the battlefield to the doctors, nurses and therapist involved in his care thereafter, Harry not only recovered from his injuries but is thriving and determined to pay it forward and help other wounded warriors.
In 2018, RISE Up Acacdemy will launch in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The family-oriented, veteran led program will have multiple two week sessions per year.
