Throughout our project we will be volunteering at the Hope and Care Center in order to show appreciation for wounded service members and provide extra hands for events that need more volunteers. Ultimately, we will be volunteering wherever necessary for the organization at Camp Pendleton and specifically the Hope and Care Center.
Paintball Tournament:
We contacted Staff Sergeant Abner, PR for the Wounded Warrior Project Camp Pendleton branch, and he approved our idea of organizing a paintball tournament in order to promote the Wounded Warrior Project and raise funds to donate to the Hope Center. Through this tournament, we will have rights to sell different items in order to raise money. Additionally, there will be an entrance fee for the event, so given the popularity of paintball at Pendleton, this is projected to be a very successful fundraising event.
Inspirational Speaking Events:
In order to promote the organization and recruit more volunteers, we will be looking to set up speaking opportunities for representatives of the project and wounded veterans themselves who have taking part in the project. This will provide us with an opportunity to advertise our paint balling event and recruit helping hands. A potential speaker will be Sergeant Jason Pacheco, a military service member who went through the Camp Pendleton branch of the Wounded Warrior project. This man's leg was lost to an IED in Afghanistan and he was able to learn to use his prosthetic limb to function at the same level as any other Marine Scout Sniper.
