This family-friendly event raises awareness and funds to support of our nation's bravest warriors and their families through programs and services provided by Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). Join us on the beautiful campus of Trane Technologies located in Davidson, NC, for a 5K along the shore of Lake Norman. If you're not local to Davidson, we still want you to participate so please join our "Virtual" option and participate from wherever you are!
For over 20 years, Wounded Warrior Project has been providing a variety of programs, services, and advocacy to empower veterans and their families. As the leading veterans service organization in the United States, WWP provides post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured warriors and their families with access to mental health services, physical wellness activities, VA benefits assistance and peer support. To learn more about Wounded Warrior Project and their mission of honoring and empowering wounded warriors, please visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
The VA reports veterans are more than twice as likely to die by suicide than non-veterans. Veterans are having to wait months to access mental health services at the VA. Although many factors contribute to suicide when protective factors are maximized and risk factors are minimized on the individual, interpersonal, community and societal levels, suicide can be prevented. The programs and services WWP offers to veterans and their families does exactly that - through mental health and career counseling, physical wellness activities, financial readiness education, VA benefits assistance, advocating and many other services.
Since 2023, Team Yellow Ribbon has been supporting Americas Bravest through Wounded Warrior. Together, we raise awareness about veterans mental health while raising money in support of the services and programs provided by WWP. There is more to be done though and we invite you to join us as we continue this effort.
If you're unable to join us in Davidson, join our "VIRTUAL" option and walk, run, or jog in your area!
All participants will receive an official race bib, a WWP t-shirt, and a medal upon completion. Register by October 15th to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
