AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC:AXIM) is honoring that request by supporting Adopt-A-Soldier Platoon, Inc. with a generous donation of CanChew® an award-winning, patented cannabidiol chewing gum. The product donation will be distributed by Adopt-A-Soldier Platoon, Inc. at the private, invitation-only Warfighter Independence Weekend July 3rd – 4th. Perhaps the first of its kind event hosted "by Warfighters for Warfighters," organizers are working to create a network of caring Veterans who can help those with suicidal ideations.
"Our Veterans need someone – not only someone who can relate – but someone who has been through what these Veterans have been through," states Alan Krutchkoff, President of Adopt-A-Soldier Platoon, Inc. "Most do not want to talk to psychologists or psychiatrists unless they have been in the military; they prefer to talk to their own. The Warfighters Independence Weekend strives to make that a reality. Through this event, we intend to create new deeper bonds with those invited and in attendance. Our hope is to save one or more lives in the process. We are thankful to AXIM for their continuous support of our heroes."
Adopt-A-Soldier Platoon, Inc. is focused on reducing the effects of post-traumatic stress (PTS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as helping create a network of Warfighters for Warfighters to reduce the suicide rate. The all-volunteer charity gives 100% of all donations to its Operation Combat Care program to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen and those having a difficult time transitioning from combat to civilian life. Details about the event can be found on the organization's website.
