We are thrilled to share that NSF’s direct programmatic support for the NSW community last year was the most in our history, totaling $29.1 million. This level would not be possible without the generosity of our donors, fundraisers, and teammates. Thank you!
On Wednesday, November 8, we celebrated the grand opening of our West Coast Warrior Fitness Program facility! Over 200 supporters, including NSW leadership, service members, spouses, veterans, and Gold Star and Surviving Families, joined us in celebration.
The summer began with our annual camps where NSW children engage in various activities to foster teamwork, build self-confidence, nurture resilience, create camaraderie, and develop leadership abilities. It’s incredible to witness these young campers’ growth and transformation throughout their time with us.
The Navy SEAL Foundation (NSF) is here to support the NSW community in times of grief. That includes helping the families and teammates left behind. In the last eighteen months, Naval Special Warfare Development Group commands have experienced multiple losses. As a result, NSF recently supported a day of resilience counseling and training for the members of these units to help them through this difficult period.
Happy New Year! We are pleased to report that NSF’s 2022 support for the Naval Special Warfare (NSW) community was the most ever, totaling $20.3 million.Thanks so much for helping make this possible!
