Hoboken ‘Veterans Yoga Project’ Fundraiser Set For March 11

HOBOKEN, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Veterans Yoga Project. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site here.

In its fourth year, over 120 residents and yoga practitioners are expected to come together March 11 to raise money and awareness to support veterans and their families through a Veterans Yoga Project (VYP) fundraiser to be held at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken.

The first VYP Hoboken Fundraiser launched in 2015, by two friends and Hoboken residents, Tam Terry and Helene Graff. The duo’s motivation to bring peace and support to the veteran community through yoga has grown the annual fundraiser from an invite-only gathering to a community-driven event.

“Supporting Veterans Yoga Project is a great way to give back to veterans and their families, who have given all of us so much,” explained Tam Terry, a co-founder of the event. “Coming to the event is more than just saying thank you. It is a way to help these people get their lives back on track. And it’s also fun.”

Fundraiser attendees can participate in a yoga class taught by veterans and hear about their unique and transformative experiences through yoga. They’ll also have a chance to meet Veterans Yoga Project founder and executive direction, Dr. Daniel Libby and learn about the organization’s programs.

Light refreshments will be served. All proceeds from the event will go to support for Veterans Yoga Project. The event is open to veterans, yoga teachers and practitioners and anyone interested in learning more about VYP. No yoga experience is required.
