Eligible veterans invited to apply through March 4

FORT COLLINS, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–No
Barriers Warriors and Wells
Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) are seeking veterans with
disabilities for the Warriors
to Summits 2016 Expedition Series. Teams will embark on three
separate, but equally grueling expeditions. Participants will push their
boundaries through these transformative journeys while reflecting on
their past, recognizing where they are now and developing a vision for
their future.

Eligible veterans can apply for one of three epic expeditions:

• Expedition I: June 11 – 17, Wind River Range, Wyoming
• Expedition II: July 9 – 15, Presidential Range, New Hampshire
• Expedition III: October 1 – 10, San Juan Mountain Range, Colorado

Note that the San Juan Mountain Range expedition will have the first
team solely made up of Warriors to Summits alumni. Participants from
2014 Mt. Whitney, 2015 Gannett Peak, and this year’s Wind River Range,
and Presidential Range expeditions are all eligible to apply to be a
part of San Juan Mountain Range team.

Warriors to Summits is one of many experiences No
Barriers Warriors offers to empower veterans with disabilities to
overcome barriers and unleash their potential. This year, Warriors to
Summits will serve more veterans than years past through these series of
backcountry expeditions across the United States, a first for the
Warriors to Summits experience.

This is the third consecutive year Wells Fargo has teamed up with No
Barriers Warriors through its sponsorship of Warriors to Summits.

“We’re excited to once again join forces with Wells Fargo, double the
number of veterans we serve and continue to transform veteran’s lives
through the No Barriers Life,” said John Toth, Director for No Barriers
Warriors.

Wells Fargo’s sponsorship continues to focus on supporting veterans with
disabilities, and the communities around them.

“The goal of our sponsorship is to help empower veterans,” said Jerry
Quinn, Wells Fargo Military & Veterans Program Manager. “Together, we
will be able to serve more wounded veterans directly, and significantly
impact those around them, including their caregivers, fellow veterans,
and their communities.”

Series or to find additional information, please visit WarriorstoSummits.org.
Applications will be accepted through March 4, 2016, 5 p.m. Mountain

About No Barriers Warriors

No Barriers Warriors is one of several programs of No
Barriers USA, whose mission is to unleash the potential of the human
spirit. No Barriers Warriors is the only program that improves the lives
of veterans with disabilities through curriculum-based learning in
challenging environments. Experiences serve as both an opportunity for
growth and catalyst for change, as warriors stretch boundaries, build
teams, innovate through adversity and step up to lead and serve others.

No Barriers Warriors expeditions use mountains as both a metaphor and a
training ground. Experiences are comprised of three phases: thorough
preparation, transformative experience, and meaningful engagement. Every
curriculum based experience is geared toward facilitating
transformation, establishing a lifelong rope team and giving warriors
the tools to live a No Barriers Life.
