Update - June 17, 2024:
Partnership With Wounded Warrior Project Canceled For Windrock 2024 Event
Due to an unforeseen circumstance, the Wounded Warrior Project, adhering to their policy, must cancel their participation in the upcoming July Windrock event. Unfortunately, there was an issue with securing sufficient hotel rooms for our wounded warriors through the foundation, which made it impossible for us to ensure that we could accommodate them during the event. However, we would like to clarify that the Windrock event itself is NOT canceled. It will proceed as scheduled, but it will now be a standard Hummer Club event without the participation of the WWP.
The Hummer Club plans on working closely with the Wounded Warrior Project to plan another future event to help continue their mission and will work diligently to ensure any specific details are ironed out, preventing any logistical issues. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time and extend our sincerest apologies for any disappointment caused.
If you would like to withdraw from attending the Windrock event because your primary reason for participating was to support the Wounded Warrior Project, we completely understand. You can contact the Hummer Club, and we will be happy to issue you a 100% refund. For a refund please email: DaveYeck@thehummerclubinc.com
All that being said, this Windrock July event is still going to be a fantastic time! The attendance turnout is looking good thus far, and it is shaping up to be a great event!
