42 Days Until... ...The 2024 NYC Navy Seal Swim. I am humbled by the support of my efforts to participate and honor the brave men and women who served our great nation, first responders, and firefighters. To date, we have raised $4,000 towards our $5,000 goal!!!!!! Any support would be greatly appreciated and all proceeds go directly to Navy SEAL Foundation. What your support could mean: 1. $500 could fund travel for a wounded Seal or SWCC in need of specialized care for their return to duty. 2. $250 could provide graduate-level test prep assistance for a transitioning Seal or SWCC. 3. $150 could fund one session of grief counseling for a Gold Star family member. 4. $100 could pay for a physical rehabilitation session for a Seal or SWCC 5. $50 could cover two hours of Respite Child Care for one family of a deployed service member. 6. $25 could provide one meal for a Command Memorial. 7. $10 could fund 1 water bottle for a NWS kid at Summer Camp.

The National Auto Body Council (#NABC) recently revealed the establishment of the Changing and Saving Lives Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization to support community involvement and fundraising events. The foundation's primary focus is to assist families in need, military members, veterans, and first responders through various programs, including #NABC Recycled Rides, NABC First Responder Emergency Extrication (F.R.E.E.), and NABC Community Impact initiatives. In the year 2023 alone, the NABC, through these programs, distributed over 200 vehicles to families, veterans, and military members in need of reliable transportation. More than 1,500 first responders received life-saving education on vehicle rescue techniques. With the increasing demand for NABC programs, there is a growing need for resources to manage and expand these initiatives. The Changing and Saving Lives Foundation enables the NABC to actively pursue grants, gifts, and donations actively, providing the necessary means to enhance and broaden their programs. This strategic move will allow the organization to meet the rising demand and make a more substantial impact on communities where NABC members reside and work. #NABCFoundation #CommunityImpact #ChangingLives #AutobodyNews
