Where are my donations going?
We have benefited a variety of military non-profits over the years. This year we are donating to Semper Fi & America's Fund, the USO, the National Wings & Armor Foundation, and Special Operations Warrior Foundation. You can read more about each of these organizations here.
I can’t come but I want to support this foundation. How do I do that? First of all, thank you for your generosity. As much as we would love every person who wants to support us join us at the event, we know it is not always possible. We have a special donations page for anyone wanting to offer their support from afar. You can check that out HERE.
