Host a Run, Walk, Bike, or Swim

Jack Richmond marathonMany of our supporters are avid runners, walkers, bikers, and/or swimmers who take to heart our suggestion to support Wounded Warrior Project by doing something they enjoy. Some individuals organize their own community or school event. Others raise awareness and funds by participating in an existing events such as the New York Marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon, the Badwater Ultra Marathon and many more.

We have two easy donation options you can pass along to your friends, family, and coworkers to solicit sponsors and donations. The first option is to create a simple donation form that includes a message describing your fundraising efforts followed by a detachable section with your name and the WWP address. Recipients can simply cut the bottom of the donation form off and send it directly back to us with their donation. The second option to solicit donations is to have us set up a personalized online donation form that describes the event and your efforts. Visitors routed to this page can donate online directly to WWP, and we can track how many donations you’ve received. You know your audience best in terms of what will reach them most effectively. Be creative as you spread the word about your efforts for our nation’s wounded warriors!
