Tee It Up for Veterans Golf Tournament
On July 17, 2023, a group of local Colorado Veterans hosted the 2nd “Tee it Up for Veterans” golf tournament benefiting Helping Heroes Colorado, a statewide advocate for Colorado’s veterans, service members, first responders and their families. Helping Heroes Colorado’s mission is to provide opportunities that improve the lives of trauma-exposed veterans and first responders through peer-to-peer support programs which foster camaraderie and healing. Helping Heroes Colorado aims to give back to the families of these heroes in a way that they deserve.
In August of this year, Helping Heroes Colorado is coordinating a 5-day outdoor retreat to include wilderness and communal experiences as therapeutic healing for U.S. veterans and active-duty service members. This program is unique among veterans and PTSD programs because it weaves wilderness therapy with philosophical discussions, physical challenges, and camaraderie in the outdoors. Read more…
