“Playing football with Odessa Turner most definitely. It was fun! (We'd love) more stuff like this. We need to get our minds off of our stressors and triggers sometimes.”
🇺🇸 - Veteran in attendance at PFYF Wellness Workshop at Newburgh Armory Unity Center: When asked what the veterans favorite part was, and how we as an organization can better serve them as vets.

Coming soon... @playforyourfreedom was honored to be included in the April 2019 issue of this revolutionary, young magazine, 12550 The Zine... Look for it at your favorite Newburgh area businesses! @12550thezine

Our workshops that are held at our "home base" at the Newburgh Armory Unity Center, start with high energy on the playing field, and end on a high note with dinner and entertainment for our Veterans. At the latest Wellness Workshop, the Veterans were entertained by one of our favorites...Nick Morizzo. He volunteers his time with PFYF, a couple of times a month. The Veterans really enjoy it. Thank you Nick! 🎶🎤🎸

These ladies came out to volunteer at Wellness Workshop #92 from the Greater Newburgh Rotary. A week before, PFYF Founder and Director David Lionheart was the guest speaker at the monthly meeting for the Rotary Club. (First photo, the ladies are pictured serving dinner to the Veterans with Missy Berean, second from right). Missy volunteers her time cooking and serving delicious dinner for our Veterans at all of the Newburgh based workshops!

-Laughter is a universal language of healing-
*
Laughter requires community -- where you can connect and form a bond, and feed off of one another, making an important alliance with the people around you. At our monthly workshops with the Veterans, our PFYF team becomes a part of a community of special people, where smiles and laughter abound. •

SINCE 1/28/2016, IN OUR MONTHLY WELLNESS WORKSHOPS, WE HAVE HOSTED 3,024 VETERANS!
🇺🇸
These workshops get our Veterans out of the hospital and use physical fitness along with positive peer to peer support to create a healthy and memorable experience. We invite them to join our team of volunteers as they transition back into their lives to stay active and connected.
