Impact A Hero

Jim Hoelker was our guest speaker this week with a message that was very appropriate as we go into the Memorial Day weekend.  Jim is a board member of Impact Player Partners, an organization dedicated to honoring and caring for the needs of our wounded in the War On Terror.

Severely wounded and disabled War on Terror veterans have special challenges everyday. They must adjust to their new circumstances and they need help. Emotionally wounded heroes need to know that every American appreciates the sacrifices our wounded heroes have made. Financially, wounded heroes deserve every American’s support to help pay for everyday living expenses, not to mention their new special needs such as retrofitting a house for a wheelchair. Impact Player Partner programs include Impact A Hero Day at sporting and entertainment venues, Impact A Hero Emergency Financial Aid and Impact A Hero Mentoring.

The Rotary Club of Sharpstown was pleased to support the efforts of Impact Player Partners with a donation of $1,000.   More information can be found at www.impactahero.org
