Leadership Impact: The Wounded Warrior Project
Challenge Statement:
Challenge Statement:
-To help raise awareness and funds for the Wounded Warrior project.
The Plan:
- Sell dog tags that:
- Raise awareness for the cause, by saying “Wounded Warrior Project” on them.
- Raise awareness by explaining what the Wounded Warrior Project does, to people that we are trying to sell to.
- Raise money to donate to the Wounded Warrior Project.
(Dog Tags sold at $3. Cost of purchase/shipping was divided evenly between our 4 group members.)
Benefits:
-People will understand the importance of the WWP to the veterans.
-We will help Wounded Warrior Project by raising awareness and collecting donations.
-The money helps the foundation afford rallies and events for the Veterans, as well as counseling and physical therapy for Veterans.
-The WWP will keep helping the veterans adjusting to life back home, which can be a very tough process, mentally.
Definition of Success Criteria:
-We want to not only be able to raise awareness of the very deserving cause, but also raise and donate money. If people know what the wounded warrior project is, and how important it is to veterans, we will consider that a success.
We have a goal of $150 dollars earned from the dog tags. (Total revenue, not just profit.)
To Do:
-Order the dog tags that say “Wounded Warrior Project” from DogTagCity.com.

Some Good Resources:
Consider emailing the Librarians, they do a Veterans Day display that you could easily contribute to.
Their e-mails:
Make a slideshow for the TV in the library, and make posters for the display.
We did not find it necessary to do this, but making flyers to advertise that you will be selling dog tags is not a bad idea. We were still able to sell them all without the flyers.
The website that we used was dogtagcity.com They are a reliable source with a decent product, for cheap when you buy in bulk.
Use your class as a focus group. See what they would be interested in, and work off that.
We sold the Dog Tags at 3 dollars a piece. By doing so, we were able to make a $180 dollar donation.
~Special Thanks to the students and staff at GBN for buying the dog tags, and to Mrs. Ingersoll for helping throughout the process, and for helping out with actually donating the funds.
