World-Class Athletes Support Wounded Warriors Through Virtual Event
Just before she left to compete at the London 2012 Olympic Games, American diver Kelci Bryant Grisez met with a group of injured military veterans. The experience left an indelible mark.
“I knew that I was competing and some of those heroes were at home watching, and I wanted to make them proud of someone they fought for,” Kelci said.
If they were watching recently, they would’ve been proud again. Kelci, along with more than a dozen of the world’s best female athletes, participated in a virtual trivia night to raise support for Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) warriors and their families.

Bonds Through Boxes: How a Wounded Warrior Connects with Care
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 27, 2020) — Be careful if you’re over at Nancy Beetstra’s house; you might have to shimmy past a stack of soap or tango with a tower of toothbrushes. She’s not a hoarder, but rather a helper for heroes. Those items are going in care packages for U.S. troops stationed overseas.
Nancy, a Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) warrior and staff member, knows how much those packages mean to servicemen and women; she received them when she was in the Marines.
