On Friday, June 7, 2024, Amy Carpenter, Joe Hofferth, Siomarilis Torres, and Melissa Martin fearlessly participated in the VisionCorps Eye Drop Rappelling Event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Each rappelled down the side of a 120-ft. building. This is the fifth year Team Wendy has supported the event, and the second year Team Wendy has participated. Team Wendy is excited to continue supporting and growing the partnership.
VisionCorps, an agency of the National Industries for the Blind (NIB), empowers individuals who are blind or visually impaired by employing them in manufacturing and other jobs. Team Wendy works with VisionCorps to help create some of these jobs through a contract with the government, enabling them to play a crucial role in distributing Team Wendy’s Zorbium™ Action Pad (ZAP™) adjustable helmet liner system to ground combat units in the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy.
VisionCorps receives the pad sets, which have gone through the entire manufacturing process except for die-cutting, from Team Wendy in fabric-sealed sheets. Their employees then die-cut the pad sets on a specialized machine, package them, and ship them out to U.S. military units and other OEM customers. Approximately 75% of Team Wendy’s Zorbium™ Action Pad (ZAP™) helmet liner pads are sent to VisionCorps through this government contract.
We value our partnership with VisionCorps and look forward to participating in the 2025 rappelling event.
