Fundraiser for military PTS program

The community is invited to head to Champs Chicken inside Southside Travel Center on Friday, Aug. 23. A portion of proceeds from all Champs purchases will be donated to Wyoming’s The Guardian Project, which serves post 9/11 military warriors battling post-traumatic stress.

Launched in 2016, the Guardian Project is a first mental health program that utilizes eco-adventure therapy. Groups of veterans are taken on remote outdoor excursions with the goal of improving mental and physical wellbeing. This unique environment creates a comfortable space where veterans battling post-traumatic stress or military sexual trauma can open up and relate to others who have had a similar experience.
