Through a partnership with Weill Cornell Medical Center, the Headstrong Project provides
completely cost free, bureaucracy free, and confidential treatment to Iraq and Afghanistan
veterans. In addition, we build highly collaborative platforms with other Veteran Service
Organizations to reduce the barriers to care and ensure every veteran receives the care they
need and deserve for their service to our country. More information can be found at
getheadstrong.org.
Words of War was a cocktail fundraiser at IAC HQ that included a war poetry reading by Jake
Gyllenhaal. Additionally, Theater of War featuring Joanne Tucker (Arts in the Armed Forces) and
Jamie Hector (from HBO’s The Wire) performed a scene from Sophocles’ Ajax, a play that
illustrates the timeless psychological effects of war. Additionally writer Garrett Anderson (winner
of Headstrong Project poetry/prose contest) and Gerardo Mena recited their poems. Funds
raised from the cocktail fundraiser benefited the Headstrong Project as well as Team Rubicon,
Team RWB and Student Veterans of America.
