The Wounded Soldier Fundraiser was started by Vietnam War veteran, Ed Huss. In 2005 Ed decided he wanted to do something to help one of our wounded soldiers so he organized a golf outing fundraiser to benefit a soldier from the same unit he served with in Vietnam. The money raised in 2005 went to help Kyle Burleson, who was paralyzed from the neck down, get a new special needs home.

The next year the proceeds went to Latseen Benson who lost both his legs in Iraq. In 2007 we decided to go with a local guy. The money raised from last year's fundraiser paid the down-payment on a house for Victor Rojas who was injured when his Humvee was hit by multiple RPGs.

The mission of The Wounded Soldier Fundraiser, an NP 501 (c)(3) organization, is to help make a difference in the lives of our wounded American Heroes by providing funding and positive support during the service member's transition back into the civilian community following a life changing injury.

We will do this by working with the community to contribute dollars, facilitate and promote awareness and provide for the special needs of wounded men and women of the Armed Services to the enrichment of all.
