Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors

The Link-Up on March 19, 2023

In 2002, Bud West started the Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors. The original focus was helping paralyzed veterans through fishing until the group obtained the land lease in 2005. In 2007, the group became incorporated. Sadly, in 2010 Bud passed away.

Today, we are a dedicated group of men and women who love the outdoors and believe that hunting and fishing should be accessible for everyone, regardless of disability. We serve both military and civilian disabled persons who enjoy hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. The only way they can do so is with the assistance of the Wounded Warrior volunteers who are physically able to do so.

Warriors Never Give Up

The Link-Up on March 18, 2023

Warriors Never Give Up is a God inspired VOLUNTEER non-profit organization offering outdoor adventures for combat deployed or service connected disabled veterans.

Warriors Never Give Up began by utilizing our passion for the outdoors to serve our nation’s heroes, but God called us to step out of our comfort zone to do so much more. Our intention of this organization and its outdoor adventures is and always has been to provide a place of relaxation, hope, family, and a break from life’s daily struggles. However, along the journey, we soon realized that a bigger piece of God’s intention was missing. Throughout the transformation of this awesome and amazing journey, it became obvious that God’s calling was not only providing a place of mental and physical healing, but also a place of spiritual healing. We take pride in our mission of touching the lives of each and every volunteer or participant knowing that our chief sponsor, God, is in control. The hunt brings us together, but the Spirit changes the lives of our participants when we least expect it. We are dedicated to changing the lives of our nation’s heroes one outdoor adventure at a time.

Warrior Bonfire Program

The Link-Up on March 18, 2023

The Warrior Bonfire Program is an organization created for service members who have been wounded in combat operations. The purpose of our programs are to encourage camaraderie between those that can fully understand the mindset of a combat wounded soldier and /or their spouse, foster healing through those relationships, inspire growth towards new passions and purpose post military service, or simply know they are not alone. Our programs center around hosting retreats that include therapeutic small group communications and activities such as hunting, fishing, skiing and more, with each event concluding with a bonfire. Our events are designed to set the examples of getting out with others to combat isolation and rejecting the use and need of self medication. Picture The Warrior Bonfire Program operates in Clinton, Mississippi, as a 501 (c)(3) tax exempt non profit charity. It is overseen by a board of directors of 7 members with experience in military operations, private sector businesses, non profit organizations, government processes, and entrepreneurial start ups. Currently, all funds raised go directly to the programs that support the combat wounded veterans we serve. The Warrior Bonfire Program has been in operation since January of 2013.
