Dixon’s America 250 Committee is hosting a fundraiser for Wounded Warrior Project
Many wounded veterans return from service but don’t always feel like they’ve come home. Some face wounds such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or chronic pain that disrupt daily life. In WWP’s most recent Warrior Survey, 76% of warriors reported that pain interferes with their enjoyment of life, and 77% reported symptoms of PTSD.
These challenges can isolate veterans and strain their families. Supporters empower WWP to change and save lives every day.
With the funds raised through the Red, White, & Blue Ball, Dixon’s America 250 Committee will help WWP provide veterans and families with mental health care, physical wellness, long-term rehab, financial stability, and community connection. These services give warriors the support they need to heal and thrive.
The Red, White, and Blue Ball will be an unforgettable evening of patriotism, music, and community held in celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary and in support of the Wounded Warrior Project.
As our nation marks 250 years of independence, this special fundraiser will bring our community together for a night of celebration and purpose. Guests will enjoy live entertainment from the nostalgic Yorkville Big Band and the crowd-favorite Time Bandits Band, keeping the dance floor full all evening long. In between the two bands, we are honored to host Wounded Warrior guest speaker Danielle Green. Danielle Green is a U.S. Army veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and former University of Notre Dame basketball player who was injured while serving in Iraq.
Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served and limited bar service will be available. Dress in your finest red, white, and blue attire and join us for a meaningful night honoring 250 years of American freedom while supporting those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
