Continuing Our Mission
At Western PA Wounded Warriors, our mission is to improve the lives of those in need by providing essential services and support to our communities. WPAWW donated this year to the VFW 927 Post Auxiliary to help purchase products for stockings that were donated to the 16 veterans in residence at City Missions Patriot House. One of the many examples of how our board and members give back to those who have served our country.

About Us
Our Organization
Thank you for visiting our website. Since 2002 we have relied on the community for 100% of our support. We are a small volunteer organization, 501(c)(3) certified. We are NOT associated with the Wounded Warrior Project (est. 2003) or other national groups in any way.
The money we raise stays in Southwestern PA and enables and empowers veterans and people with disabilities to come together to participate in fantastic outdoor experiences. Activities including wheelchair accessible pontoon boating, target shooting, ham and bacon shoots, fishing tournaments, small game hunting, turkey and deer hunting, as well as a variety of community events and fundraisers.
Together, we can make 2024 even better for our veterans. Thank you for supporting our organization. Please feel free to contact us! Thank you all again for your support.
Our History
In 2002, Bud West founded the Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors. The original focus was helping paralyzed veterans through fishing until the group obtained the land lease in 2005. In 2007, the group became incorporated. Sadly, in 2010 Bud passed away, but his legacy lives on through the work of our amazing volunteers and strong Board of Directors.
Our Mission
We believe that hunting and fishing should be accessible for everyone, regardless of disability. We serve both military and civilian disabled persons who enjoy hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. The only way they can do so is with the assistance of the Wounded Warrior volunteers who are physically able to help them.
