The founder and CEO of Allied Wallet, Andy Khawaja is an accomplished entrepreneur who was named a 2018 Iconic Figure in Finance by CEO Monthly magazine. Also a philanthropist, Andy Khawaja shares his success by donating to several nonprofit organizations, including the Wounded Warrior Project.
Since 2001, more than 52,000 military service members have sustained physical injuries, more than 500,000 suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, and another 320,000 live with the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Wounded Warrior Project operates a variety of programs to support veterans re-entering civilian life and help them address their physical, mental, and emotional wounds. One of these programs is a rehabilitative adventure called Project Odyssey.
An outdoor multi-day adventure, Project Odyssey focuses on helping veterans develop tools to overcome adversity. With options such as an all-male, all-female, or couples retreat, participants enjoy activities like hiking, rock climbing, and scavenger hunts in a safe and supportive environment. Led by trained counselors and fellow veterans, Project Odyssey allows veterans to reestablish strong human connections and rediscover the strength within themselves.
