Cheer on Wounded Warriors at Fifth Third Field
Show your support for true All-American heroes in action, as the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team takes over Fifth Third Field on Saturday, August 20. The WWAST's mission is to inspire and educate others while enhancing the health and welfare of Wounded Warrior Amputees.
About
The Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team is comprised of young, competitive, athletic veterans and active duty soldiers who have lost limbs. Some are still in the service, others are attending college thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill while others have moved on to new careers. They now travel the country playing abled-bodied teams in competitive, celebrity and exhibition softball games, bringing their special brand of softball, courage and inspiration.
