4. SUPPORT FOR THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT:
BizNet member Shane Schmutz (USMA '01) is hosting a large fundraising event (500+ attendees) to support Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP). The event will be on October 4, 2012 at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. The West Point Society of Denver (WPSD) is a Supporting Sponsor for the event and is helping the project collect donations.
Shane has set up a website where you can find more information, http://www.veteranspassport2hope.org/ One item that Shane needs is an Event Sponsor. This sponsor will be the "Title Sponsor" for the event, meaning they'll receive a large amount of recognition. If your company wants to associate itself with helping the WWP, please contact Shane thru the above website.
