Wounded Warrior Project
Wounded Warrior Project began when several veterans and friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help others in need. What started as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service members has grown into a complete rehabilitative effort to assist warriors as they recover and transition back to civilian life.
Over the past two years, RBC attendees have generously supported the Wounded Warrior Project. With matching funds from the Cardinal Health Foundation, RBC attendees have raised over $297,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. Thank you for your generous donations!
This year in Seattle we will once again host fundraising activities to support the Wounded Warrior Project. Attendees will be able to participate in a silent auction showcasing a variety of great items, or they can simply make a donation. All proceeds will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project and again be matched by the Cardinal Health Foundation.
Thousands of wounded warriors and caregivers receive support each year through Wounded Warrior Project programs designed to nurture the mind and body and encourage economic empowerment and engagement. To learn more about Wounded Warrior Project visit woundedwarriorproject.org.
Silent Auction
This year, exhibitors will have the opportunity to contribute toward the silent auction benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project. The silent auction will be open to all RBC attendees beginning July 15 through August 9. Participating in this auction is a great way to highlight your company’s support for America’s wounded warriors.
Item requirements: • Minimum $200 value
• Items must be shipped by 6/21/2013 • Item(s) or gift baskets*
*Gift baskets must include additional materials for display (e.g:. basket, ribbon, etc.) separately in a box.
