American Widow Project & Tuesday’s Children
Tuesday’s Children partnered with the American Widow Project, a nonprofit organization providing peer to peer support to military widows grieving the loss of a spouse in the armed forces, to host a collective retreat for 9/11 widows and military widows to empower, strengthen, and learn from one another on the weekend preceding the anniversary of September 11th. Seven women from Tuesday’s Children and six women from the American Widow Project participated in a fast-paced scavenger hunt through midtown with Watson Adventures, took a cooking class at TasteBuds Kitchen, and participated in a variety of healing activities facilitated by the American Widow Project. The program culminated at the Tuesday’s Children Roots of Resilience Gala on September 9th, during which Taryn Davis, Executive Director of the American Widow Project, was honored with a Resilience Award.
