Local San Diego opportunity to Support Navy Seal Families

On the evening of 13 November, a fundraiser will be held at Dick’s Last Resort in the Gas Lamp quarter to benefit the families of the United States Navy SEALs.

One-hundred percent of the $35.00 per person cover charge will be donated to the NSW Foundation (www.nswfoundation.org). A live and silent auction featuring patriotic and military items along with sports and Hollywood memorabilia will be held during the event.

The SEALs (Sea, Air, Land) are a breed among no other. The families of SEALs are a special breed as well. While SEALs are deployed world wide fulfilling their missions to help protect the country, their specific locations are classified and they have limited communication wit h their families. The last thing a SEAL needs is to worry about his loved ones when deployed and on the job. Formed for SEALs by SEALs, the NSW Foundation meets this need with programs for the SEALs’ families.



Through fundraising and donations, the NSW Foundation has been able to offer scholarships to dependent children and spouses of active duty SEALs. The Foundation also covers the cost of books for active duty SEALs enrolled in college under the Navy Tuition Assistance program. The Foundation’s “Education with a Foundation” program provides comp uters to the surviving children of personnel killed in training or combat. This program helps ensure that these children are given one resource they need to help them excel in their education.



The Naval Special Warfare community has lost twenty nine men in combat operations since 9-11 and over 120 men have been severely wounded fighting insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Foundation is there for our families in times of tragedy and loss. The Foundation takes care of airfares, hotels rooms and rental cars for family members, and helps cover the cost of memorial services for our SEAL’s killed in combat. They provide a food delivery service for the families and prov ide them with baskets of necessities often overlooked during stressful times.
