Basys Processing Inc. recently made a significant and thoughtful donation of $10,500 to the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA) through their employee charitable donation program. This program consists of Basys generously giving money to their employees each year that they in turn can donate to the charity of their choice. WWIA is honored and humbled to have been chosen as a charity recipient by numerous Basys employees to help further their mission of serving and honoring America’s combat-wounded Purple Heart recipients. This donation will go toward WWIA’s local MO-KAN Ducks, Bucks, & Trapping Event, which has been proudly honoring and serving Purple Heart veterans for 15 years!

The Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Apollo Beach, FL. Their mission is to serve our nation’s combat-wounded Purple Heart recipients by providing world-class outdoor sporting activities such as hunting and fishing to recognize and honor their sacrifice, encourage independence and connections with communities, and promote healing and wellness through camaraderie and a shared passion for the outdoors. Founded in 2007, and now in their 18th year of operation, WWIA has proudly served and re-served thousands of Heroes from every state in the U.S., providing all-expense paid outdoor sporting adventures to an average of 220 Heroes annually.

Wounded Warriors often return home differently than when they left to serve our nation; finding that their personal and professional lives are impacted by their war experiences. WWIA in coordination with an incredible team of hosts, volunteers, donors, and supporters across North America help show our Purple Heart Heroes that they can still experience and accomplish great things, no matter their current circumstances.

Most WWIA events serve an average of 3-5 Heroes and last anywhere from 3-5 days, allowing for optimal bonding, brotherhood, and camaraderie. These events help bolster self-confidence while strengthening the bond with nature, local communities, and other Purple Heart veterans. Whether these Heroes suffer from traumatic brain injury, permanent limb disability, or post-traumatic stress disorder, these connections are critical to the healing process.
