It’s always nice to see our favorite stars supporting causes that do so much for people. On October 18th, Tom Hanks, Mary-Louise Parker and David Lynch Foundation CEO, Bob Roth, celebrated Resilient Warrior Award Honorees Major General (Ret.) Stephen T. Rippe (USA, Director, DLF Center for Excellence in Military Health) and Ken Falke (Founder of Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors) at The David Lynch Foundation “Change Begins Within: Healing The Hidden Wounds Of War” Benefit Dinner & Conversation at The Plaza Hotel in New York City.

The David Lynch Foundation (DLF) is a global charitable organization that addresses the epidemic of trauma and toxic stress among at-risk populations. Proceeds benefited David Lynch Foundation programs, including the Center for Excellence in Military Health, a division of the David Lynch Foundation helping veterans and those in the armed services dealing with post-traumatic stress (PTS).

The center provides the simple, data-driven, and evidence-based transcendental meditation technique that has been shown through 40 years of research and clinical applications to reduce symptoms of PTS, anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and impulsive, violent behavior. Easy to learn, enjoyable to practice, and with lifelong benefits, transcendental meditation has transformed the lives of thousands of veterans, military personnel, cadets, and first responders across the country.
