The United Way of Columbia and Greene Counties together with
The Wounded Warrior Project and
Adaptive Sports Foundation “Warriors in Motion” Program (Windham, NY)
ADAPTIVE SPORTS FOUNDATION
The Adaptive Sports Foundation’s Warriors in Motion program provides wounded warriors with a
basic knowledge of wellness and the importance of practicing lifelong healthful living. Warriors engage
in sports, outdoor activity, and recreation. In addition, warriors are encouraged to investigate how
the physical self is tied to the emotional/psychological self, as well as how state-of-mind can affect
the physical body. The Adaptive Sports Foundation is also a national program provider for Wounded
Warrior Project®’s Physical Health and Wellness division.
WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT
With the mission to honor and empower Wounded Warriors, WWP is the hand extended to encourage
warriors as they adjust to their new normal and achieve new triumphs. Offering a variety of programs
and services, WWP is equipped to serve warriors with every type of injury – from the physical to the
invisible wounds of war.
IRON HORSE CIGAR DEPOT
The Iron Horse Cigar Depots owners decided to get involved with the Windham Mountain, Adaptive
Sports Foundation, Warriors in Motion programs after they learned that a large portion of the funding
they once received had been significantly reduced. “I think it’s incumbent of the success of all small
businesses to give back to their local communities as a show of thanks to their clientele,” said Roy
Brown owner of the Iron Horse Cigar Depot in Hudson NY. “We’ve chosen to help the Warriors in Motion
programs as veterans helping veterans, plain and simple.” Roy and his wife Nicky are both veterans
of the U. S. Air Force and believe that running a small business and giving back to the community is
the right thing to do and have dedicated themselves to helping raise funds for the Adaptive Sports
Foundation, Warriors in Motion programs.
