I am pleased to announce the return of the Wounded Warrior Project to Whitefish, Montana for 2010.  Once again we’ll be entertaining some special guests February 3^rd through 8^th at Whitefish Mountain Resort.  Last year’s event was a wonderful success and we are looking forward to making this year’s event even better.   

Six severely injured servicemen and women (and their families) will be coming to Whitefish as guests of the community to learn to ski with the adapted instructors at the resort.  I’ve organized this event with a small group of Whitefish residents and businesses as well as the Wounded Warrior Project which provides opportunities for veterans who have recently been released from the hospital to participate in adapted recreational activities as part of their transition from military to civilian life. 

At your convenience please have a look at this short video to get a glimpse of last year’s event:

These brave men and women of our armed forces have given up so much in service to their country.   Please join me and show your gratitude for their sacrifice, and help them recover from their wounds in any small way. 

Your generous, tax deductible donation to the Wounded Warrior Project would help us defray some of the cost of this special event.  Please follow this link for instructions on how to make a donation:

 I know these are tough economic times but imagine the challenges of making a career change without sight or missing one or more limbs.  That’s just one of the many challenges that our guest will face. 

Please help me spread the word.  This event would not be possible without the help of several grads.  Last year we had an ‘02 grad participate.

 Thank you for your generosity.
