Fundraising Dinner to Benefit the Wounded Warrior Project Gaining Support
- More Corporate Sponsors Needed to Reach $50,000 Goal -
GREENVILLE, SC (February 28, 200 
– “Since our kick-off press conference in December, generous sponsors are beginning to line up in support of our injured troops,” said Mona Simmons, Chairperson for South Carolina for Wounded Warrior Project (SC for WWP). As of mid-February, corporate sponsors, elected officials, and individuals have pledged $18,000 toward the May 15 fundraising dinner – Tribute to Our Wounded Warriors. Sponsor levels of $10,000, $5,000, $1,000 and $250 are still available and include reserved seats to the patriotic fundraising dinner to be held at Taylors First Baptist Church.
The Wounded Warrior Project (www.woundedwarriorproject.org) is a non-profit organization, dedicated to raising awareness and enlisting the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.
South Carolina for Wounded Warrior Project is a group of individuals within the South Carolina community who have come together to locally spread the awareness and garner support for WWP and our nation’s injured service members. They see the need that our wounded have, and have made the commitment to themselves, each other, and to their communities to do all they can to help ensure a successful transition for this new generation of war heroes.
SC for WWP spokesman, Jeff Holt, announced that Medal of Honor Recipient Major General James Livingston, USMC-Ret. of Mt. Pleasant, SC, will headline the dinner. “General Livingston is a true patriot who fully understands honor, valor, and how vital it is to support our injured service members,” said Holt. In addition, an educational presentation on post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury will be provided.
Thank You to Our Initial Sponsors!
