“This night signifies the promise we made to wounded veterans – to be there no matter what and to help them reconnect with their personal strength, perseverance, and resilience to triumph over adversity,” said WWP™ CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Walt Piatt. “We’re grateful for our partners and supporters who help us keep that promise.”
This inspiring and impactful night is possible thanks to the generosity and support of event sponsors.
