iHeart/CBS 8 Giveathon -- Warrior Foundation Freedom Station

$600 Helps Sends a Warrior Home for the Holidays!

In a proud annual tradition that truly embodies the spirit of the season and our nation’s deep-rooted patriotism, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station and our media partners are raising funds to fly our ill and injured troops home for the holidays! America’s military men and women represent the best of our nation. For those who are injured while serving our country, and face the challenges of recovery, rehabilitation and the transition to civilian life, there is no greater gift than to return home to their families for this special time of year.

Funds raised by the Give-a-Thon will enable thousands of ill and injured service members to leave the hospital and go home for Christmas. While it seems like a simple gesture, a trip home has a priceless impact on warriors' morale and recovery, and the military families who love them. At its heart, sending our heroes home for the holidays is a gesture of gratitude for the men and women who have served, sacrificed, and are now learning how to overcome both visible and invisible injuries.

Changing Lives and Saving Lives, One Warrior at a Time

In addition to flights home for the holidays, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station assists injured warriors year-round with a variety of programs, including adaptive sports, outdoor therapy, wheelchairs for warriors, vocational projects, education scholarships, mentorship and career guidance, work wardrobes, and more. We also provide a "home of the brave" via our transitional housing residences, Freedom Station I and II, which provide injured warriors with the time, guidance and resources to successfully transition from military service to civilian life.
