For every bag of coffee sold, Trident Concepts will donate $1, with an initial campaign goal of selling 25,000 bags to generate a $25,000 contribution.

By tying donations directly to product sales, the company has established a transparent and measurable way to support the SEAL Legacy Foundation while offering a high-quality product that fits seamlessly into everyday life.

SIG SAUER Hosts 5th Annual Mogadishu Mile at SIG SAUER Academy

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025

Epping, N.H., (September 30, 2025) – SIG SAUER is proud to announce its continued support of the Three Rangers Foundation’s Mogadishu Mile. The 5th annual event will be held at the SIG SAUER Academy (233 Exeter Road, Epping, NH) on October 4th from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM.

The Mogadishu Mile is the Three Rangers Foundation’s annual commemoration of Task Force Ranger and remembrance of the fallen Warriors of Operation Gothic Serpent. The primary objective of the operation was to capture Mohamed Farrah Aidid, leader of the Somali National Alliance who was wanted by the UNOSOM II in response to his attacks against United Nations troops.

On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia, and engaged with Somali militiamen in an intense overnight gun battle. Using rocket-propelled grenades, Somali militiamen shot down two US Blackhawk helicopters, shifting the US raid into a rescue mission. When the relief convoy arrived on the morning of 4 Octoberthere was only enough room in the armored vehicles for the fallen and severely wounded. The remainder of Task Force Ranger maneuvered a mile on foot under relentless attack from rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire – this relatively short but lethal distance became known as “The Mogadishu Mile.”

Join SIG SAUER in honoring the heroic actions of Task Force Ranger by completing a commemorative one-mile run through the SIG SAUER Academy campus. The run can be completed with or without incorporating obstacle course elements. This remembrance event is open to all ages and abilities and does not require registration.

Wet Bucket Tattoo’s “Frontline Field Day” Raises Over $20,000 to Support our Nation’s Military, First Responders, and Law Enforcement Officers

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025

Sneads Ferry (July 21, 2025) – Wet Bucket Tattoo, a Veteran-owned tattoo shop located in Sneads Ferry, hosted their annual Wet Bucket Block Party, on Saturday, July 19th, with proceeds benefiting Frontline Healing Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, supports programs that address the unmet needs of suffering servicemen and women and give individuals and communities the tools to become self-sufficient.

Hosting friends, family and supporters of the Warrior community, Wet Bucket held an event like no other.

With local Food and beverage vendors on site, along with local businesses, and a lineup of talented Veteran artists who dedicated their entire day to tattooing Flash Tattoos, the event brough in over $20,000 for Frontline Healing Foundation.

The money was raised from a combination of live and silent auctions, t-shirt sales and swag sales, Flash Tattoo sales, and generous donations. Auction items ranging from custom firearms to Fishing Excursions, Gear, Glasses and one-of-a-kind art pieces brought in an incredible sum for the organization.

The highlight of the day was the Team Competitions, where three, 5-man teams, Military / Law Enforcement / Fire Rescue competed against each other for the ultimate bragging rights, and a chance to win a Grand Prize, donated by Last Shadow. Celebrity team captains (Law Enforcement – Captain Blake Cook, Military/Veteran – Captain Doug Kiesewetter, Fire Department – Captain Jimmy Pribyl) lead their crews in physical and mental toughness for the coveted prizes.

“We have been so fortunate over the past six years to be able to grow in this community and host an event to benefit chosen charities,” stated Wet Bucket Owner and Marine Corps Veteran, Coy Azimuth. “When we learned that it costs approximately $10,000–$20,000 to fully fund one client through a treatment program, we felt convicted to align with Frontline Healing Foundation and do our best to support the vets and first responders that have given so much.”

Frontline Healing Foundation’s funding subsidizes the cost of treatment for veterans and first responders who do not have insurance or to pay for their healing. The funds raised will be immediately invested into programs, supporting treatments in detox, residential and outpatient, sober living, brain treatment, K9, and continuation of care for warriors who want to go to Warriors Heart or through other facilities.

“At Frontline Healing Foundation, we believe true healing happens through connection—and this weekend, the Wet Bucket Tattoo event reminded us of the extraordinary power of community,” stated Frontline CEO, Jordyn Jurezcki. “We are deeply grateful for the artists, organizers, and every person who showed up with open hearts. You’ve created a space where our Warriors feel seen, supported, and like they truly belong. This event was a reminder that none of us are in this alone.”

Hosting friends, family and supporters of the Warrior community, Frontline Healing Foundation’s annual event was a fundraiser like no other.

“What this incredible community has given to our heroes and families, is time to heal and return to doing the ‘normal’ things that others take for granted,” stated Frontline Healing Foundation CEO, Jordyn Jureczki. “We are so proud of how our supporters, friends and family came together to raise this staggering and humbling amount for our heroes.”

The money was raised from a combination of live and silent auctions, as well as generous donations. Auction items ranging from custom firearms, to knives, and one-of-a-kind art pieces that brought in an unprecedented sum for the organization.

Personal tokens, like the Limited Edition, Eagles & Angels, Eagle Collection Hat – “Kyle Morgan” Edition. As limited as they come, this pair of hats are the only ever to be made of this collection; crafted from the fabric of a custom top Morgan designed during one of the most challenging deployments to Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010. “These hats symbolize resilience and serve as a reminder of the spirit and bravery of those who have served,” stated Morgan.

“The objective in hosting this annual event, is to create a platform for positive change; raising not only money but awareness of the incredible work being done in the community of treatment and care for the Warriors,” stated Jurezcki. “The impact this funding will have on the lives of these heroes, their families and children will be immeasurable.”
