Since its founding in 2000, The Navy SEAL Foundation has remained the premier benevolent organization serving U.S. Navy SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCCs), and active-duty service members assigned to NSW commands. NSF’s support also reaches NSW’s dependent family members, Gold Star and Surviving Family members, and all SEAL and SWCC veterans. Today, NSF is pleased to announce it has entered into an official partnership with SENTRY Products Group, LLC. The partnership will advance the Foundation’s human performance initiatives for Naval Special Warfare (NSW) warriors through product donations and a significant funding grant from SENTRY’s Founder and CEO, former SEAL Mike Noell.
In the past two decades, NSF has delivered over $113.6 million in critical assistance by developing and funding evidence-based programs, including programs to advance the recovery and optimal human performance of those service members who have become ill or injured during their military service. The Foundation’s Virginia Beach-based “Return-To-Duty Program” is an individually tailored program that takes a comprehensive approach to wellness by addressing the participant’s nutrition, physical health, and cognitive functioning. After completing the intensive multi-week program, participants have seen significant improvement in overall health and reduced pain in many cases. Due to the program’s success, NSF has seen an uptick in demand for increased availability and an additional location in California to serve those living on the west coast, reducing the burden of travel for participants assigned to west coast SEAL Teams.
NSF’s new official partnership with SENTRY Products Group, LLC, will enable the Foundation to expand its RTD program by providing significant funding and equipment donations for the west coast facility.
“NSF is thrilled to expand our Return-To-Duty program to the west coast with the support of Mike Noell and SENTRY,” said Robin King, CEO of the Foundation. “SENTRY’s support is a testament to Mike’s commitment to his brothers in the SEAL community, and we are so grateful for this generous partnership. Together we will continue to provide the best care and programmatic support for the NSW community.”
“Over the years I have been fortunate to remain active with The Navy SEAL Foundation. Having experienced the program myself, and understanding the mission of their Return to Duty program, I felt this was the right time to provide resources to assist in the expansion of this vital program to the West Coast”, stated Mike Noell, Founder and CEO of SENTRY. “As a company, we are committed to our association with The Navy SEAL Foundation and proud to support the mission of our country’s elite warfighters in the best way possible.”
