Helping Heroes Hawaii Golf & Gala for Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors
This year’s Helping Heroes Hawaii Golf & Gala was a huge success in helping raise funds and awareness for Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors, a nonprofit foundation created to help build and remodel homes for wounded veterans.
The three-day event took place at the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s Fabled North Shore in Hawaii from Thursday, February 20 – Saturday, February 22, 2014. From a memorable opening reception and breathtaking tours to a golf tournament at one of the top five golf courses in Hawaii, everything was truly delivered to the highest caliber.
However, it was the exceptional support and generosity from everyone involved in the main mission that really took the caliber of this event to the next degree. In addition to Jared Allen’s ongoing participation, the year’s event also included contributions and onsite appearances by guest celebrities such as: Chris Doleman, Charlie Johnson and Alex Smith, Chris Pontius, Mae Quijada, Forrest Griffen, Daniel Dae Kim and Patrick Peterson.
Most importantly, the Helping Heroes Hawaii Golf & Gala was not only a great turnaround as a whole, but 100% of the proceeds raised from the event went toward Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors with the goal of providing safe and accessible homes for the wounded veterans.
Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg
Military Branch: United States Army
Location: Arizona
Build Completion: March 2015
United States Army Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg was injured October 1, 2009, when his platoon hit a roadside bomb in Afghanistan during his 10th deployment to the Middle East. Remsburg suffered a penetrating head wound with shrapnel lodged in his brain, sending him into a coma for over three years. After undergoing dozens of surgeries and years of rehabilitation, Remsburg has made a miraculous recovery; however, he is still blind in his right eye and partially paralyzed on his left side.
After hearing of his incredible story, Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors teamed up with The Army Ranger Lead the Way Fund to purchase and remodel a home designed specifically with his injuries in mind. In March of 2014, thanks to the hard work of many incredible supporters and sponsors, we were able give Cory the keys to his new 100-percent accessible, mortgage-free home. The home, which includes a wheel in pool for Cory’s rehab, a therapeutic spa as well as a guest home for his caregiver, helps to remove an element of stress so that Cory can focus on his recovery.
Since receiving his home Remsburg has made amazing strides in his quest for independence. Recently he competed at both the Valor Games and the DoD Warrior Games and earned 6 medals. Even after his injury Cory Remsburg continues to ‘lead the way
