Disabled Sports USA and the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project
On December 14th, 2010 Salt participated as a Captain Sponsor in a holiday benefit in support of the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project at The Royale Nightclub in Boston.  Several hundred were in attendance including many employees from Crowe Paradis, the evening’s most generous host. The Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project is a partnership between Disabled Sports USA, its chapters, and the Wounded Warrior Project, providing year round sports programs for severely wounded service members from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflict and the Global War on Terrorism.

Crowe Paradis CEO, Mike Crowe, kicked off the evening with an introduction of special guest Matt Light (pictured above), offensive tackle for the New England Patriots.  The evening was both a celebration and recognition of our wounded veterans dedicated to rebuilding their lives through sports.  Many soldiers were on hand and several shared their story of combat and injury followed by rehabilitation with the help of the Disabled Sports USA Organization. The event was hugely successful as it raised over $75,000. Said Mr. Crowe,” Our associates’ decision to host a fundraiser to support the Wounded Warrior program in lieu of the traditional holiday party, and the amount raised, far exceed expectations due to the enthusiasm of our associates, clients, and business partners who participated”.

"Do you know the difference between a man and a whole life policy?  A whole life policy eventually matures.

A North Carolina man, having bought several expensive cigars, insured them against... get this... fire. After he had smoked them he then decided that he had a claim against the insurance company and filed. The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigar normally. The man sued. The judge stated that since the company had insured the cigars against fire, they were obligated to pay. After the man accepted payment for his claim, the company then had him arrested… for arson.


 


Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. 
Speak kindly. Leave the rest to Chance.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.. If he is too old to fight,
he'll just kill you.

 

Some days all you can do is smile and wait for some kind soul to come pull your ass out of the bind you've gotten yourself into.

When you quit laughing, you quit living.
