Charity Pub Crawl to raise funds for injured Service Members!

Healing Heroes Network is excited to announce their Semiannual "Pub Crawl for Heroes" on Saturday, November 07, 2015 in Downtown Dunedin! Participants will be "crawling" to five bars (Chic-A-Boom Room, Dunedin House of Beer, Dunedin Brewery, Sea Sea Riders, and Rosie's Tavern), all the while raising funds to help our injured service members.

Pub Crawl participants will receive drink specials all night long and will be eligible for great giveaways and raffles! Advanced tickets are only $20 and include a FREE T-Shirt!

Healing Heroes Network's previous "Pub Crawl for Heroes" brought out over 100 participants and raised funds that enabled Healing Heroes Network to provide financial assistance for quality care to injured military personnel.

Healing Heroes Network is a 501(c)3 charitable organization based out of Palm Harbor, FL. Healing Heroes Network provides financial assistance for quality care to military personnel injured in the line of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan on or after September 11, 2001.

About Healing Heroes Network

After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the subsequent war on terror, thousands of members of our armed forces have been injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Often these men and women are unable to receive the treatments that would facilitate their return to a productive civilian life. While the Department of Veteran Affairs provides treatment to these troops, the scope of covered services is limited, sometimes unavailable, and often delayed.

Healing Heroes Network was founded in 2008 by Dr. Allan Spiegel and his wife Stacey in order to fill these gaps. Healing Heroes Network, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, was formed with a network of caring providers throughout the United States to facilitate the treatment process. Healing Heroes Network provides financial assistance for those desperately needed therapies and services.

#WarriorWednesday

Happy Wednesday from Healing Heroes Network!   We hope everyone had a great, long Labor Day weekend, and that you are all enjoying your short work week!   

Wednesday falls smack dab in the middle of the week... some call it "Hump Day", and we all can relate to that feeling of restlessness that accompanies most Wednesday's throughout the long stretch of our hectic schedules. 

Introducing... #WarriorWednesday! 

#WarriorWednesday means many things to many different people and organizations.  But to Healing Heroes Network, it means taking an opportunity to remind ourselves that we have WARRIORS fighting for our country EVERY day.

We want to hear about the special Warriors in YOUR life!  Every Wednesday, we encourage you to send us an email telling us all about the loved one in your life who has served in the armed forces, is currently serving, or sacrificed their lives in service to our country.  Please send all emails to:  info@healingheroes.org.

Thank you so much for supporting our nation's Warriors, on Wednesday and EVERY day!

Lighthouse Project with BB & T Bank

      

Healing Heroes Network is excited to announce that we were chosen for the 2015 BB&T Lighthouse Project!

The Lighthouse Project is an initiative that BB&T embarked on several years ago, a company wide program to make a positive difference in the communities where BB&T branches are located.  When a BB&T Association Services representative contacted us at Healing Heroes Network, asking us to be a part of this amazing project, we were thrilled to accept the offer! The Lighthouse Project will be supporting two crucial Healing Heroes Network programs:Tablets For Heroes and Morale Packages.  

Tablets For Heroes is a program committed to helping veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), after serving in Iraq or Afghanistan since 9/11/01, by providing them with tablet computers for cognitive re-development, memory assistance and much more.  The Morale Package program strives to show our service men and women stationed overseas that we care and support them, by sending care packages to military bases deployed abroad with some of the comfort items from home that we take for granted, spreading hope and boosting morale among their bases.

The Lighthouse Project will be donating a number of tablets to Healing Heroes Network for the Tablets For Heroes program, and will also be purchasing and putting together Morale Packages for HHN to send overseas to military bases deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We are so excited to have this kind of support and partnership, right here in our own backyard!

If you live in the Tampa Bay area and have a loved one serving overseas, we would love to send their base a Morale Package, sponsored by BB&T Bank Association Services and The Lighthouse Project!  Or, if you are a service member in the Tampa Bay area suffering from PTSD and/or TBI, and could benefit from the use of a tablet computer for cognitive assistance, we would love to get you approved for a Tablet.  Please contact Healing Heroes Network at (727) 781-4376, or email us at info@healingheroes.org.

Thank you to the team at BB&T Bank!

Because today is a day that America joins us in that celebration of the men and women who risk their lives to fight and protect our Freedom.  

At Healing Heroes Network, we know that every day is a chance for us to give back.  To make a difference.  To provide comfort and hope to those injured in the line of duty.  To let them know that we care, and that we appreciate their service and sacrifice to our country. 

At Healing Heroes Network, we strive to help as many Heroes across our great nation as possible.  We embrace every opportunity to assist with the needs of Veterans with determination, and commitment to aiding in their return to civilian life.  

At Healing Heroes Network we stand humbled and in awe of the men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty, protecting us all from the enemy.  We are forever grateful for their ultimate sacrifice, and we will NEVER forget their bravery and heroism.

Happy Mother's Day!

All of us here at Healing Heroes Network would like to say Happy Mother's Day to the brave and strong women out there who are under the most special of circumstances...  

The women deployed, who are fighting for our country while missing their children at home.  The moms of soldiers and airmen, who worry day in and day out that their child is safe in the world.  

There are no amount of words that could express the appreciation and gratitude we have for these amazing women who make the ultimate sacrifice, despite their fears and anxiety of losing or missing their child.  

"The bravest battle that ever was fought; 
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world
you will find it not
it was fought by the
mothers of men."

- Joaquin Miller

We hope that if you are lucky enough to be with your mom this Mother's Day, you will treat her like the Hero she is! Check out this fabulous Pinterest Board for some amazing gift and craft ideas she will be sure to love!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

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!

HHN Winners of the Mike Alstott Community Grant

We are excited to announce we were the winners of the 2012 Mike Alstott Family Foundation Community Grant. After being selected as one of ten "finalists," the Mike Alstott Family Foundation posted a contest on their Facebook page for fans to "vote" for their favorite charity to win the grant. Fans could vote once a day, every day until the end of the contest on October 15th at 11:55 pm.

Let's just say, you guys did NOT disappoint! For two weeks fans voted on Facebook and urged their friends to do the same. On October 16, 2012, HHN had the most votes at 1712, 381 votes higher than the second place charity!

The Mike Alstott Family Foundation will be awarding the grant to HHN to use towards our Welcome Home, Hero program, which provides financial assistance to military families of wounded service members injured in Iraq or Afghanistan since 9/11/01 to use towards basic necessities, including food, shelter, and clothing.

"We will now be able to help up to an additional 20 families," said HHN Executive Director, Stacey Spiegel. "That's just incredible. We at HHN and the service members we help are so grateful to our supporters and the Mike Alstott Family Foundation."

Olympic Strong!

The 2012 Olympics started this past weekend in London. While I'm, of course, rooting for my country of America, I'm especially rooting for those who keep our country safe AND are competing for glory--our service members.
