Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund

This charity came to my attention during the first season of Celebrity Apprentice as it was the charity of choice for Piers Morgan, the eventual winner of the show. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund was established in 2000 and initially was intended to provide financial assistance to families that lost loves ones in the service of their country.

In 2007 the Fund finished a $55 million facility in San Antonio, Texas for the physical rehabilitation of military personnel who have been “catastrophically disabled”. They are also working on construction of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence which will focus on treatment of traumatic brain injuries and research. This project is on track to open in 2010, but needs an additional $3 million in donations. You can contribute here. Please support our fallen heroes by donating to this worthy charity.

Also, a special thanks to Purpose Inc. for giving me a kick in the pants to use my blog for better uses. They are the sponsors of the following event at PubCon 2009:
