OPERATION WOUNDED WARRIORS, INC.
OUR 12 FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS
50 STATES IN 75 DAYS!
This is our Annual Signature Event. Every year we will visit a minimum of 100 American Legion’s and VFW’s, combined, in all 50 states in 75 days. Post Commanders will be given a time and date for our visit. We encourage them to start collecting money from their members and guests and present it to us during our visit. The money raised will be for our newest Mission, Operation: Homeward Bound, to help end Veteran Homelessness.
OPERATION: WE’VE GOT YOUR SIX!
This is an on-going program where participating Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard Members will donate $1.00, $3.00 or $5.00 every two weeks on the 1st and 15th of each month. These donations will be automatically debited from their paychecks and the proceeds will go to our newest Mission, Operation: Homeward Bound, to help end Veteran homelessness. Congress and Senate Members, Base Commanders and Commanding Officers of each state’s National Guard will assist our organization in implementing this program.
OPERATION: DRIVE
This is an on-going program to recruit 250 Volunteers, preferably 5 from each state, to drive a minimum of 4 hours of Uber a week and then donate their earnings, including tips, to our organization. Drivers will be given a signed Donation Receipt at the end of each year which will be used as a tax deduction on their personal income tax return. This will benefit Operation: Homeward Bound, to help end Veteran homelessness.
AUCTIONS
This is an on-going event on our website. Items up for auction will include Sports and Entertainment Memorabilia, Travel Packages and Cruise Packages. Sports Packages, Airline Tickets, Hotel and Resort Packages and Casino Packages will also be available from time to time.
MOTORCYCLE RIDES / CARAVANS
Our goal is to have at least one event in all 50 states. These rides will be led by American Legion Riders whenever possible. Most caravans will consist of at least 100 Riders, be 100 miles in length and will begin and end at an American Legion or VFW. Riders will get pledges from friends, family, and businesses for each mile traveled. The money raised will go to Operation: Homeward Bound, to help end Veteran homelessness.
A plaque will be awarded to the Rider who raises the most money for each ride. Cash prizes will also be awarded to the first, second, and third place Rider who raises the most money.
