Boulder Crest Retreat Announces 2016 Look Ahead at Fundraising Events
Bluemont, Virginia (PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- Boulder Crest Retreat announces its upcoming events to support its mission and ongoing programs. The Retreat is the nation’s first privately funded wellness center dedicated exclusively to combat veterans and their families. Their mission is to help veterans and their families’ transition into civilian life by providing them with an intensive therapeutic stay that focuses primarily on the concepts of post-traumatic growth. The retreat’s programs have been hailed by experts and well received by those who have stayed and been helped.
“We are proud of what we are doing here to help the country’s combat veterans,” explains Ken Falke, chairman and founder of the Boulder Crest Retreat. “A lot of thought has been put into these programs so that everyone who attends can get the most out of it. We want them to take those tools home so they can continue to use them. The funds generated by our fundraising events help to support our mission for military members, veterans, and their families.”
