Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) began in 2003 as a grassroots effort to provide care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than two decades later, Wounded Warrior Project is the nation's leading veteran service organization, focused on the total well-being of post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veterans. Keeping the promise to care for our nation’s veterans requires the expertise and energy of a diverse and committed team. We build and lead programs that help warriors find purpose and thrive. We provide essential lifelines to families and caregivers. We advocate tirelessly with policymakers. We raise awareness to celebrate the service and honor the sacrifice of all veterans. The support of generous donors and corporate partners allows us to provide programs at no cost to warriors and their families. Talented WWP teammates across the country work together to ensure that no warrior is left behind. Together, we're changing the way our nation cares for veterans for generations to come.

Freedom Boat Club, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) and headquartered in Venice, FL., is the world’s oldest and largest boat club with more than 400 locations in the U.S., Canada, France, United Kingdom, Spain, Denmark, and Australia. The club serves more than 100,000 members. We believe that days do not have to be ordinary and boating should be an escape rather than a nuisance. To us, boating is a way for people to relax, connect with friends and create powerful memories with family. So in 1989 we brought that philosophy to life with Freedom Boat Club, the world's largest members-only boating club. With Freedom Boat Club, you don’t need a lot of time to enjoy boating. Just get to the dock. We’ll have a boat waiting for you, fueled up and ready to go. We boast numerous locations from seashores to lake shores. From one Sarasota, Florida location in 1989, Freedom has grown to over 400+ locations throughout the world. Each provides you with a fleet of boats that come with less stress and a lower price tag than owning a single boat. We clean, maintain, store, and do all the prep work for your enjoyment. There are no hassles like dock fees, insurance or trailers. Instead, you spend your time having fun on the water. And when you join one Club you join them all. You have the freedom to explore the world's best shores, lakes, and rivers. At Freedom Boat Club, the boat is waiting. Why are you?
