TALLADEGA, Ala. – The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is excited to introduce the Marksmanship Challenge for the Road Warrior Foundation – a social range event held in partnership with the Road Warrior Foundation.

The Road Warrior Foundation is a volunteer-led non-profit dedicated to helping veterans repair the wounds that can’t be seen – introducing carefully planned “adventure therapy” that reminds individuals of their unconditional worth, while creating a community of healing through essential human connections.

The organization links its lineup of excursions with other like-minded entities to further their cause. The CMP is proud to join the list of partners with this new, fun event.
