Throughout the year, Salute to Service honors, empowers, and connects our nation’s service members, veterans, and their families. As part of its mission, the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF), the Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF), the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), the United Service Organizations (USO), and the Wounded Warrior Project® have developed strong partnerships. Over $58 million has been raised for these Salute to Service partners since 2011.
