ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, June 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Just ahead of Women Veterans Recognition Day, the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation (WVIF) launched a summerlong fundraiser, the Power of 1,000, at the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation Inaugural IMPACT Awards and Fundraising Gala at the Arlington Gateway Marriott. The gala raised $10,000 to officially kick off the fundraiser.

The Power of 1,000 challenges 1,000 women to donate $1,000, with an ultimate goal of $1 million. Funds will support WVIF’s programs that address the worst challenges facing women veterans: homelessness, suicide, depression, PTSD, and unemployment.

“Women veterans face serious challenges as they transition out of the military,” WVIF Founder Ginger Miller said. “We have a moral obligation to show them that we have their backs.”

The Power of 1,000 will last from June 11 – to Sept. 11, 2022. Donors can give online at: www.powerof1000.org
