Wounded Warriors Appreciation Event held in North Carolina
#1
Most of us take the freedoms we have for granted but it's impossible to imagine how different our daily lives would be without the sacrifices of our military. Often these men and women suffer horrendous events that change them forever and come home to quietly resume their lives.

Created by wounded warriors for other wounded warriors, the Wounded Warriors Alumni offers a range of programs and events designed for individuals' needs beyond their hospital stay. Many other WWP programs exist to help service members and their families immediately following injury and during their convalescence and rehabilitation. However, WWP Alumni offers the long-term support that extends beyond hospitalization. The organization offers assistance, communication, and camaraderie for wounded warriors as they continue life beyond injury.

The programs participants must have been injured (physical or psychological, stateside or deployed) on or after October 7, 2001(OEF) or injured before but participated in Operation Enduring Freedom. Individuals may also be eligible for the program as the spouse or family member joining on behalf of a warrior.

In October of 2009 several members of Beaver Pond Sporting Club decided to do something for these who gave so much to maintain our freedom. The decision was made to design an event that would help these heroes rekindle or form an appreciation for the outdoors. We decided to treat them to a first class day with sport, food, and fellowship at Beaver Pond Sporting Club.

Their day will begin with shooting clay targets on the five stand. We'll then serve them a lunch prepared by Chris Poole an executive chef from Alabama. There will be an organized pheasant hunt in the afternoon and a fine dinner and entertainment to end the day.

Please consider joining us in supporting these brave men and women with an outdoor event to be held February 6th at Beaver Pond Sporting Club. Cost of supporting a soldier for the event is $300.00 (includes an invitation to join the group for lunch) or $600.00 to sponsor a bench in the pheasant shoot (includes an invitation to join the group for lunch and dinner). With about a hundred Wounded Warriors in Central North Carolina, we hope to host more events to show those who gave so much for us that we appreciate their sacrifice.

Individuals, clubs and church groups, and businesses are all invited to sponsor one of our soldiers. Please help us complete this mission of gratitude.

To get involved or sponsor a soldier, call 336 376 1200 or email beaverpond1@bellsouth.net
