IN PERSON DETAILS:
9:30am- Check-In Opens
10:00am- Welcome & Warrior Speaker
10:20am- Warm-Up & Stretch, led by Army Veteran Darryl Torres
10 Kick-Off
For over 20 years, Wounded Warrior Project has provided programs, services, and advocacy to empower post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured veterans and their families including mental health services, physical wellness activities, VA benefits assistance, and peer support. Learn more at woundedwarriorproject.org.
Veterans are more than twice as likely to die by suicide as non-veterans, according to the VA, and many wait months for access to mental health care. WWP's programs directly address this need and suicide is preventable.
Since Team Yellow Ribbon held its first 5K in 2023, we've raised nearly $30,000 for this cause. There's more work to do join us!
