Over 35 Children of the Fallen Project members are expected to attend the event at Paraclete XP in Raeford, where they will receive basic training on the fundamentals of human flight and experience the adrenaline of soaring in the world’s biggest wind tunnel. Event attendees will also enjoy a complimentary lunch, provided by long-time Army’s Army partner Fazoli’s.

“We are so thankful to have partners like Paraclete XP SkyVenture and Fazoli’s, who are willing to provide these fun, engaging opportunities for our Children of the Fallen Project youth and mentors to bond with one another,” commented Janine West, Executive Director of The Army’s Army. “These special events give surviving military families something to look forward  and we are thrilled to provide them with these opportunities.”

The Children of the Fallen Project is a mentoring program established by The Army’s Army to help children who have lost a parent or guardian in the war. Through partnerships with local businesses and Army Community Service Fort Bragg Survivor Outreach Services, the program pairs children with supportive mentors and offers regular events and activities for surviving military families to build lasting relationships and learn valuable life skills.

“Here at Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving, we strive to show our full support for organizations such as The Army’s Army, Children of the Fallen Project” said Kelly Martin of Paraclete XP. “We hope to provide a fun-filled, special day for the children participating and their families and mentors!”
