We are dedicated to the support of veterans in our country. Each year, thousands sacrifice their lives to keep our country safe. That's why we are dedicating a portion of profits to local and national veteran organizations. In addition to the financial support of these groups, we will be hosting seminars for veterans throughout the weekend.
Operation First Response
Although it seems coming home from deployment is happy and fun, many veterans experience issues with the transition. From financial hurdles, to getting into work place, to homelessness and even mental health issues, our troops experience more than just the hardships of deployment. To help those soldiers transition on the home front, Operation First Response provides resources at no charge. OFR is one of the only organizations that donates 97% of monies raised to those in need.
Michael Strange Foundation
In 2011, Michael Strange was killed on deployment in Afghanistan during a nighttime raid on Taliban territory. This stands as the largest loss of American life from a single attack during the Afghanistan war, as 30 Americans were unfortunately killed. His family now operates the organization in his honor, supporting families across the nation. The foundation is a true help to those who have lost family and friends as casualties of war.
These two groups provide comradery, support, and services to the local area veterans as well as any visitors to the area.
Wildwood is a truly incredible island on the Jersey Shore that is home to one of America's most beautiful beaches.
