Mission: Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge enhances the quality of life for injured veterans and their families by helping inspire the veterans to heal, discover their potential, restore abilities and conduct innovative research while on difficult outdoor adventures. Our Motto is Wounded - NOT Conquered!

Results: Established in 2010, CWVC has a long list of hosted adaptive events over the past 12 years. It is important to note that CWVC had NO paid employees, all staff and board members are volunteers, and are so because they believe strongly in the mission and what CWVC accomplishes with every adaptive sport event. Each volunteer staff member believes that how and why they act matters. They seek to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards and manner in all that they do and, seek others to keep them accountable. They will act with honesty and justice for the good of others.
