“Wounded Warrior Project® is incredibly humbled by Massage Envy Spa Washington D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia region’s generous donation,” said Michael Richardson, WWP Independent Services Executive Vice President. “On behalf of our warriors, their families and the staff of WWP, we’d like to thank Massage Envy Spa for their continued support in honoring and empowering this generation of our nation’s veterans.”

Wounded Warrior Project serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after Sept. 11, 2001 and their families.

“We will never be able to give enough credit to all of our members, guests and staff who worked so hard to raise such a significant amount for this worthy cause,” said Ronn Wadsworth, regional executive director for Massage Envy Spas in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia. “And we look forward to growing our relationship with WWP in the years to come.”
