Founded in 2017, The Wyo West Warrior Foundation is an event aimed at providing a retreat to re-connect and re-establish the camaraderie between veterans every Labor Day weekend in Sheridan.

Brad Walden, co-founder of The Wyo West Warrior Foundation, made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse and spoke on the foundation’s mission.

Each Labor Day, the Wyo West Warrior Foundation invites veterans, their families, first responders and Gold Star Families to the “Best Weekend Ever” event. The weekend includes activities and events geared around military service and more importantly, brings veterans and first responders together to meet and network among each other in comradery. 

Along with INVI MindHealth Chief Executive Officer and former Navy Seal, Jonathan Wilson, Walden feels that the awareness of veteran, EMT, firefighter and law enforcement suicide is there, now is the time to take action.

Together with INVI MindHealth, Walden and the Wyo West Warrior Foundation have organized the Veterans Day Monster Mash.  

The Monster Mash is race that has invited members and former members of US Armed Forces Special Operations – Navy SEALs and Green Berets –  along with professional athletes to swim 10 miles and transition to a 200 mile foot race all to raise funds in an effort to end veteran suicide. 

Proceeds from this monumental effort will go to benefit The Invisible Wounds Foundation, working with veterans to aid in transitioning back to civilian life and funding research that yields real tangible results for vets suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome.
