Veterans Day Success!

Our Veterans Day care package supply event was a huge success! Team Hero was able to assemble over 70 care packages for the troops!!

A very special thank you to our veterans, Retired SGT Burnett Jr., SSGT Bliesner, and SGT Blacknall!

Also, thanks to the Elon Club Volleyball girls, as well as our other volunteers who came out to support Elon's veterans.

Missed the event? Check out the Phoenix14 story!

As always, thank you!

About the Cause

Team Hero aims to connect the Elon community with members of the military. We feel there is a major disconnect between civilian and military culture that results in a lack of support for those returning from tours of duty. Team Hero provides opportunities for members of the military and military families to share experiences with students in an effort to create support for those reintegrating into American society.

Team Hero also raises money for Paws and Stripes to sponsor a service dog for a returning veteran with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and/or TBI (traumatic brain injury). Help us to reach our goal of $2,000 -- which is enough to train a service dog and match him with a veteran!

Contact Kathleen McCarthy (kmccarthy14@elon.edu) if you are interested in attending or volunteering at the tournament.
