Wounded Warrior Fund Raising

Went to a midget wrestling match tonight at a bar in Jamestown. It was a full-on carney deal to be sure with a few slicky boys running the whole deal that were keeping the wounded warrior thing front and center.

I was skeptical of their actual cause to contribute to the WW cause. How can I look into if it was legit.

This answers a lot of questions . Aprox 70 % of donations make it to the wounded .

The Gary Sinise Foundation has always had a very good score and reputation. Well worth

I’ve bought some stuff from Til Valhalla Project. While not a pure charity, it’s a business founded by a USMC vet. Their messaging on their shirts and hoodies is meant to raise awareness of veteran suicide.

20% of their revenue goes to #Mission22 which operates under 5% OH.

It’s not the most effective way of supporting vets but I like the fit and appreciate the messaging of their shirts.

So funny, one of the wrestlers was named Lieutenant Dan!
