Charities providing retreats for wounded warriors who are burn patients, assembling a traveling museum of military children’s artwork, and sending Purple Heart veterans to hunt and fish in outdoor sporting events around the country are among the six diverse groups recognized in this year’s Newman’s Own award competition.
This year’s competition awards a total of $100,000 for the groups’ work to improve life in the military community, an increase from the total in previous years of $75,000.
The competition is sponsored by Newman’s Own, Fisher House Foundation, and Gannett Government Media Corp., which publishes the Military Times newspapers.
Since its inception in 1999, the Newman’s Own awards have recognized 145 programs with grants totaling $825,000.
