Green Beret With A Mission Challenge

This event is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supporting Veterans services, and the Special Forces Association (SFA), which serves as the voice for the Special Forces Community, perpetuates Special Forces traditions and brotherhood, advances the public image of Special Forces and promotes the general welfare of the Special Forces community. The proceeds of the event will support the SFA and the Patriot Resilient Leader Institute, also a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which runs outdoor therapeutic Camp Resilience retreats for military personnel, veterans, and First Responders.”
 
Our Mission Team is called the "Snapping Turtles," and they are pictured here (L-R). They Marched about 4 miles through the woods and participated in 12 obstacles or challenges, ending up with a great sense of camaraderie and accomplishment.
 
Altogether, the entire event of 20 teams raised over $100,000!
