Registration form for NMAD 2016 has Wounded Warrior as default checked as well as other references to WWP donations.

Although AMA is taking a low key approach to WWP this year it is still their preferred venue for the donations. As to comments disagreeing with the "commissions" aspect, an individual lack of first hand knowledge does not mean it does not exist. My source voluntarily works with local and national charitable organizations overseeing donations, fundraising and distribution. He relays interesting insight as to dubious methods some well known organizations use to raise money.

There are numerous online sources that monitor and report fund raising costs, overhead and real program end dollar usage. Of interest is the organizations that do not respond to requests for information.

Do your own research to know where your club's donations are going.
