Cause was founded in April 2003 when four West Point graduates who had served in Vietnam and their wives began providing personal care items and clothing to wounded soldiers arriving at Walter Reed from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Today, Cause recreation and entertainment programs reach thousands of injured service men and women facing months of medical care and rehabilitation far from home and family. These programs are designed to bring a bit of relaxation and fun into what are, for many, very challenging circumstances. But they also serve a much more serious purpose: that of helping wounded warriors begin the normalization process and the re-entry to home and community as they take their long journey back to health.
Cause offers four different programs at 11 locations across the U.S. and Germany. For more information about programs and locations, or to apply to volunteer, visit http://www.cause-usa.org.
