Local organizations partner for upcoming event benefiting National Gold Star Wives

Fayetteville, NC – April 2, 2014 – The Army’s Army, in partnership with The Spa Fitness and Wellness Center at Bordeaux and Buffalo Wild Wings, will host a special Spa Day event for surviving military spouses. The event, which benefits Survivor Outreach Services Gold Star Wives, will take place on Saturday, April 5th, in conjunction with National Gold Star Wives Day, from 11:00am-2:30pm at the Spa Fitness and Wellness Center on Boone Trail Road.

During the event, attendees will enjoy a wide range of fitness activities designed to help them unwind and recharge, including a fun, upbeat Zumba class, and a relaxing Yoga class. All participants will also receive a free lunch, provided by Buffalo Wild Wings, and a special gift bag full of spa products and gift certificates to take home.

“We honored to be hosting this event on National Gold Star Wives Day, in recognition of the strength and sacrifice of military spouses nationwide,” commented Janine West, Executive Director of The Army’s Army. “We’d like to thank The Spa Fitness and Wellness Centers of Fayetteville and Buffalo Wild Wings for their continued support and participation in this very special Spa Day event.”

When a soldier is killed in the line of duty, the loved ones left behind often have a difficult time coping and finding a place to escape from the grief. The upcoming Army’s Army event not only gives military husbands and wives an opportunity to strengthen their mind, body and spirit through physical fitness but build lasting relationships with other surviving families who have also experienced a similar loss.

“We’re excited to be a partnering with the Army’s Army to host such a wonderful event for spouses of fallen soldiers,” commented Bill Libby, President of The Spa Fitness and Wellness Center at Bordeaux. “This is a great opportunity for us to not only show our support for Gold Star Wives but also give back to the military families right here in our community.”
