The Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF) is a charity that primarily helps returning American servicemen, injured during active service, who are recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital. The charity was founded by Denis Neill and John Adams on March 1, 2005 and is based in Bethesda, MD. Several high profile people have supported the charity, including Mandy Moore, Marty Cordova, Dana White and Forrest Griffin. The charity has also received help from the satirical television program The Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert announced that he would donate all proceeds made by his WristStrong wrist bands and the auction of his cast would go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund. The winning bid for his cast was $17,200. As of January 23, 2008, over 30,000 WristStrong Bracelets were sold. Marie Wood, Director of Communications, was presented a gigantic novelty cheque for $171,525 on The Report that day.
