Help Us Welcome Our Troops Back Home Welcome Home Global War on Terrorism Heroes Non-Profit Fund

The Welcome Home Global War On Terrorism Heroes Fund directly supports activities involved with the return of locally based troops from an active theatre of operations. Donated funds are used to support welcoming ceremonies for soldiers and families, unit activities, and other functions which are not readily covered by existing infrastructure. Efforts are coordinated closely with local command structures to meet needs that otherwise would go unfilled due to the restrictions and lengthy approval cycle attached to the use of DOD funds. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PATRIOTIC BUSINESSES AND CITIZENS OF COLORADO SPRINGS TO SAY THANKS FOR PROTECTING OUR FREEDOMS AND WELCOME HOME THE TROOPS. A fund of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) agency.
