Home for the Holidays 5K

We would like to invite you to join us as a Corporate Sponsor for the Inaugural Home for the Holidays 5K benefiting Warrior2Citizen. Warrior2Citizen (W2C), a not-for- profit 501(c)(3) veterans’ organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia has established an evidence-based program. It measurably helps veterans and their families heal their spirit and relationships; while forming a deeper understanding of each other and the communication tools that work best for the couple.

​

Warrior2Citizen’s “Home Life Transition Program” gives direct and continued support in a safe place to the returning citizen soldier of our National Guard and Reserve as well as those who have been discharged from regular service and their spouses, helping them learn to understand, communicate and trust each other again. W2C has established an exclusive relationship with the YMCA of Metro Atlanta at its Camp High Harbour on Lake Allatoona. This program has also collaborated with the Georgia National Guard, Army Reserve, and teaming with the Chaplains Association, Catholic Charities and the Archdiocese of Atlanta, Summit Counseling Center/Pastoral Institute, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Kennesaw State University, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the University of Pittsburgh.

​

The Home for the Holidays 5K will occur Saturday, December 3rd, 2016. The run/walk will be held on the Silver Comet Trail, starting and ending at the Hiram Trail Head. The objective of this event is to address and raise awareness of the unique transition issues returning veterans have including: morale injury, relocating, finding employment, adjusting to family life, recreating their identity from soldier to civilian and re-establishing relationships. You are encouraged to visit their website to learn more about the work they do with couples and families at www.warrior2citizen.org.

Sincerely yours,
