Pomona, N.Y. - The St. Thomas Aquinas baseball
team hosted a charitable event benefiting The Wounded Warrior
Project on Monday April, 22nd as they took on the Pioneers from LIU
Post. The Spartans encouraged fans to make a pledge to this
benevolent organization, which is dedicated to supporting and
raising awareness for injured service members.
Patrons supported the cause by making a donation and there was a
check presentation for the Wounded Warrior Project between the
first and second games. This is the second year in a row that
the Spartans have raised money and awareness and donated $1,000.00
to the WWP.
Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP) began when several veterans
and friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members
returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help
others in need. What started as a program to provide comfort items
to wounded service members has grown into a complete rehabilitative
effort to assist warriors as they recover and transition back to
civilian life. Tens of thousands of Wounded Warriors and
caregivers receive support each year through WWP programs designed
to nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic empowerment
and engagement. To learn more about WWP, take a look at our mission
to see how it influences the innovative programs and services
offered to Wounded Warriors. For more information on the
