Is the College of Charleston study independent?

Yes. Dr. Katie Trejo Tello ran it under grant SCTR CES-P UM1TR005294, not WarriorWOD funding, and WarriorWOD did not review the findings before release. Peer review is pending, so we describe it as independently verified, not published.

Do the veterans in my class need to be near Charleston?

No. The class starts and graduates together, but each veteran trains at a Preferred Partner Gym near home, works with a nutrition coach by phone, and stays in daily contact with a Battle Buddy. Twelve Warrior Classes have run this way across 38+ states.

What does the outcome report include?

Aggregate PCL-5 change for the class from intake to week 26, completion count, and cluster-level results across avoidance, hyperarousal, negative cognition, and intrusive re-experiencing. No individual veteran is identified.

Can a sponsorship be paid over time?

Yes. Pledges can be paid monthly over twelve months, or on a custom schedule set in the sponsorship agreement. Recognition begins when the class starts.

Can an individual sponsor a class, not just a company?

Yes. Tiers and recognition are the same. Naming rights at Platinum can honor a person or a unit instead of a company.

How is this different from other ways to support a veteran?

Most programs that support a veteran never measure whether he got better. WarriorWOD measures every veteran on the PCL-5 and C-SSRS at intake and every month through week 26, and an independent College of Charleston evaluation found a 14.42-point PCL-5 reduction among completers. A sponsorship funds a specific class of veterans, and you receive that class's results.

Is a Warrior Class sponsorship tax-deductible?

WarriorWOD Foundation is a 501(c)(3), EIN 87-1065126. Sponsorships are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Recognition is limited to acknowledgment of your support, and your written receipt states the value of any goods or services provided. Confirm treatment with your own tax advisor.

How do I know my sponsorship reached veterans?

Your sponsorship agreement names the Warrior Class and the number of veterans funded. Within 60 days of graduation you receive the class outcome report: completion count, aggregate PCL-5 change, and cluster-level results. Gold and Platinum sponsors also receive a month-three update. WarriorWOD's Form 990 is public.

Boeing South Carolina employees present a $3,000 check to support a veteran PTSD recovery program at WarriorWOD

Corporate and major gift sponsorship

Sponsor a Warrior Class. Support a veteran through measured PTSD recovery.

A Warrior Class sponsorship lets you support a veteran, or thirty-three of them, through WarriorWOD's six-month PTSD recovery program: training at a Preferred Partner Gym near home, nutrition coaching, and weekly contact with a Battle Buddy who completed the program. The class runs remotely. Veterans in 38+ states have graduated together.

An independent evaluation by the College of Charleston found a 14.42-point PCL-5 reduction among completers (p<.001, Cohen's d=1.33). The study was not subject to WarriorWOD review before release.
