Happy Valentine's Day from HHN

At this special time of the year, we take a moment to think of loved ones and what they mean to us. Many spend the holiday with dinners, roses, or candy; however, there are thousands in our armed services that are unable to spend the day with their loved ones. On this romantic day, please take a moment to remember our service members who sacrifice so much to defend our freedoms.

From our heart to yours...HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy New Year!!!

We can't believe another year is at an end! Our charity has made quite some strides in the past 4 years since we started in December of 2008. We've provided assistance for over 1,300 treatments to injured service members, we've been awarded a grant, and we're beginning new programs to expand our reach to helping injured veterans make the transition back to civilian life easier. It's truly a wonderful and exciting time at HHN! 

We wish everyone a happy and safe new year's eve and day, and we hope you all have great luck in the coming year!

You and PNC Gave Back!

We want to thank everyone who opened a checking account with PNC to help raise money for Healing Heroes Network. Especially around the holidays, every penny counts towards helping our veterans heal and return to productive lives.

Thank you all!

New Year's Resolution: Help Heal our Heroes

Many of us "fall off the wagon" when it comes to New Year's Resolutions. I know I have. I haven't once been to the gym this year to start my "healthier lifestyle." But when it comes to your resolution to be more charitable or to help us folks at the Healing Heroes Network in our goal to help wounded veterans, there are many simple ways to succeed.

1.) Monetary Donations

Yes, perhaps the easiest, fastest method of helping out is to just donate money to HHN. With a few clicks you can donate via PayPal, or you could send a check. From $500 to $5, every bit counts towards helping our veterans have a healthier tomorrow. For more information, click here: Monetary Donations.

2.) In-Kind Donations

If giving money isn't a good fit, sometimes it's easier to give actual goods and services. Sending us medical equipment for treatments and care of our warriors is a great way to give back. Even things like gift cards can be used for fundraising auctions, buy supplies for programs, or even to give to veterans who could enjoy them. 

We'd love to take all donations, but it's not always feasible. Make sure to call us first at (727) 781-4376 to make sure that the object you want to donate can be used. 

3.) Volunteer for a fundraising event.

Sometimes people don't want to give money or things, but will happily give their time. There are many ways to volunteer time for HHN. While most of our events happen in the Tampa Bay area, we are a national nonprofit and have events all over. Call us up or check out our website to see if we have anything going on in your area!

Silvio's contacted HHN about this fundraiser

If we don't have anything happening near you soon, there's always the option to take the initiative yourself to host a fundraiser. Hosting events are not only rewarding, but tend to be really fun. In the past, people have held concerts, dinners, or even auctions in support of HHN. If you have an idea for an event you'd like to plan, contact our Development Manager to get started.

4.) Talk about HHN

One of the most credible ways to really spread the message about HHN and our cause is to simply talk about us. Tell your friends, tell your coworkers, tell the strangers on the bus. Word-of-mouth stories are the ones that really sink in and help people remember a cause.  

If you don't feel comfortable blabbing all over town about us, just putting up some of our flyers or brochures is another alternative to explore. To get PDFs or other bits of our literature, just email our administration. Getting people to know and understand our cause is half the battle.

Getting involved in a cause isn't as complex and complicated as many believe it to be, and it is much more rewarding than you expect. Keep your New Year's Resolution or create one now by committing today to help Healing Heroes in its mission to heal our injured warriors.

Busy as Bees at HHN

Last week was a very busy week for us. On Wednesday HHN went to Quaker Steak & Lube to show off the two motorcycles we're giving away during our "Harleys for Heroes" Sweepstakes. And on Friday, two of our team members at HHN went to a Charity Fair in Tampa while the rest of our team went to our 1st Annual Golf Tournament at Westchase Golf Club.

All of the events were very successful. We met a lot of great people, helped spread the word of Healing Heroes Network, and hopefully got some people to consider how they personally can help wounded veterans.

We'll have a few articles posted here soon about each event, so look forward to those. If you want to know about any upcoming events for Healing Heroes Network, go to our events pages at our website or the event page on this blog.
