Why We Do it
Our Vision
At The Warriors Walk, our vision is to create a community where Veteran’s mental health is a top priority and individuals can access the resources they need to achieve optimal well-being that supplements services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. By supporting organizations such as the Headstrong Project, which helps directly offset the cost of mental health services for Veterans, we hope that the stigma of “22 Too Many” will no longer exist.
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to gathering a coalition of youth, businesses, Veteran organizations, and local communities to raise awareness and monetary funds to financially support organizations that directly support Veterans’ mental well-being. We essentially are the “boots on the ground,” so organizations like the HeadStrong Project can focus on their missions.
How it Works
Over the years, we have gone from a one-man operation to a collective group of Veterans and supporters who work tirelessly to make The Warriors Walk a permanent staple. The Warriors Walk is directly supported by the New Lenox Harry E. Anderson VFW Post #9545. All monies raised go through VFW’s Post #9545 Treasurer and operates under their 501(c)(19) tax status. The New Lenox Thomas E. Hartung American Legion Post #1977 has partnered with the VFW to manage the Warriors Walk.
The Warriors Walk is a Not-For-Profit Corporation in Illinois and is working towards our own 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. In the meantime, every last donor and sponsor can rest assured that every dollar is being overseen by already well-established organizations.
