Wounded Warriors in Action

Established in 2007, the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA) is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Apollo Beach Florida. The WWIA is dedicated to serving our nation's combat wounded, Purple Heart recipients, by providing world-class outdoor sporting activities.

Our Mission

The Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation Inc. (WWIA) serves our Nation's combat wounded Purple Heart recipients by providing world-class outdoor sporting activities as a means to recognize and honor their sacrifice, encourage independence and connections with communities, and promote healing and wellness through camaraderie and a shared passion for the outdoors.

Our Situation

The country has been at war, now, for over ten years.

As of January 21, 2016, the combined number of post 9-11 service members wounded in action (WIA) is 52,404. See U.S. Casualty Report

These men and women are our Nation's most treasured asset. Hunting and fishing provide excellent opportunities to assist our wounded veterans in recovering - mentally, physically, and spiritually from their war experiences.

The WWIA Goals

Increase Self-Reliance
Bolster Self-Confidence
Enjoy the Great Outdoors
Promote Spiritual Healing and Wellness
Instill a Sense of Belonging
