The Combat Wounded Coalition (formerly known as Wounded Wear) is a Non-Profit Organization that assists combat wounded warriors rediscover the Hero Within through four program pillars – Pride, Power, Purpose, and Peace.
The Combat Wounded Coalition (CWC) provides free Wounded Wear clothing and clothing modifications to combat wounded warriors as part of our Pride program and raises national awareness of the sacrifices that built our nation.
The Power Pillar is built around demonstrating to our warriors that there are no boundaries by pushing them outside their comfort zones, where personal growth occurs. Through one of our signature events, “Jumping for a Purpose,” we take our warriors and caregivers skydiving, encouraging them to understand that life did not end despite loss or injury and the only limitations we have in this life are the ones we place on ourselves. Jumping for a Purpose teaches them they can once again live greatly and overcome any and all adversity. Not all warriors are looking to be empowered by jumping from a perfectly good airplane, so as part of our Power program, we look for other vetted partner organizations to get our warriors back out, living greatly and overcoming the physical and invisible wounds of war.
Our last two pillars are built to help our combat wounded warriors discover Purpose in their new lives, and ultimately, find Peace. CWC believes the greatest gift we can give our warriors coming home is to help them find their new Purpose after military service and the impact of war. Whether it is outdoor empowering activities, employment support for wounded warriors and their caregivers, housing support, or education support, CWC helps make
connections through our intake database, to vetted and proven For-Profit and Non-Profit organizations, like Corporate America Supports You (CASY) & Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN).
