Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Ball Raises Over $500,000 for Sea Service Families In Need

Sunday, April 2nd, 2023

Funds allow the nonprofit organization to continue providing emergency financial
assistance to active-duty and retired Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families.

WASHINGTON (March 27, 2023) — After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society hosted their black-tie fundraising ball on Saturday, March 25, 2023 and raised over $500,000. Senior military leaders, NMCRS supporters, corporate executives and military families gathered in support of the organization’s mission of providing financial, educational and other assistance to active duty and retired members of the Sea Services of the United States, their family members and survivors.

 

The event, themed “Together Again,” included a reception, dinner, silent auction and dancing. General Eric Smith, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps; The Honorable Russell Rumbaugh, Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Financial Management & Comptroller); and Vice Admiral Rick Cheeseman, Chief of Naval Personnel and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Manpower, Personnel and Training started the evening off by applauding NMCRS volunteers and employees for extending the special kind of care and compassion that assists clients when they need it the most.

 

Entertainment was provided by the United States Navy Band Cruisers, the Navy’s premier popular music group. Distinguished speakers included LtGen. Robert R. Ruark, president and CEO of NMCRS; Sergio Rodriguez, NMCRS volunteer and 2022 Navy Spouse of the Year. Margaret Brennan, moderator of “Face the Nation” on CBS, served as emcee for the evening. Brennan’s spouse serves in the United States Marines Corps Reserve.

“The Society is proud to play an important role in the financial, personal and family readiness of those who wear the cloth of our nation,” said Ruark during his speech. “Long deployments, family separations, frequent relocations and other unique environmental factors create exceptional hardships for those who serve and their families. NMCRS exists to be a helpful resource when needed.”

 

Since the ball was last held in 2019, NMCRS has provided over $141 million in financial aid and served over 230,000 clients.

 

The event was demonstrative of the organization’s commitment to providing Sea Service members with urgent financial assistance, financial education, scholarships and much more. USAA was the presenting sponsor and the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. served as the venue.

 

“Our goal at NMCRS is to make it as easy as possible for Marines and Sailors to ask for help,” continued Ruark. “In everything we do, we are preparing clients for a solid financial future.”

The New Tacti-Cool Edelweiß Set-UP

Saturday, April 1st, 2023

LENGGRIES, GERMANY, and KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (1 April 2023) — Following on the heels of their successful joint participation at SHOT Show 2023in Las Vegas, U.S.A., UF PRO and Lindnerhof-Taktik have agreed to collaborate further on the creation of special, one-of-a-kind tactical-use products.The two brands say they are united by a shared drive for constant innovation, a love of detail, and a desire for greater creativity. This powerful combination has led UF PRO and Lindnerhof to bring to market a radically new concept, one that takes the product portfolios of both companies to a higher level.

Beginning Saturday, 1 April, the gates will fling open wide for pre-ordering the brands’ hot new tactical Edelweiss set-up consisting of UF PRO’sP-40 Tactical Lederhosenof UF PRO and Lindnerhof’s matching and adaptive Chest-Rig Harness Edelweiss BY732.

Said Armin Wagner, Head of Product Development at UF PRO, “Never settle for ordinary Lederhosen when you can experience the comfort, style, and adaptability of our P-40 Tactical Lederhosen, which features the innovative Waist/Flex System and scholler®-dynamic stretch material to ensure a comfortable fit for all your Oktoberfest adventures.”

However, the advantages of the P-40 Tactical Lederhosen don’t end there. Equipped with an array of pockets—including cash pockets for your expenses, a dedicated coaster pocket, and even pockets for pens and knives—these Lederhosen are the ideal companion for any unpredictable situation, Wagner contended. “And yes, they’re Knee-High-Socks-ready, so you can maintain that authentic Bavarian look without sacrificing practicality,” he added.

Jakob Kolbeck offered insights concerning the process by which the product was developed: “In the course of discussing the initial design concept, it was clear that we needed to come up with something that would enable our customers to stay tactically ‘cool’ during their free time—and also to allow us,as a Bavarian-based company, to include the look of our traditional Alpine costume.”

The Chest-Rig Edelweiß BX732 is classically designed but with softer padding and extra MOLLE/PALS slots and loops for carrying additional equipment (such as hydration tube guides, cable guides, and more). Moreover, users can personalize the Chest-Rig by means of MOLLE fixation with just a bit of adaptation to the traditional design and included center part.

Included with the Chest-Rig is the BY623 Multi-Purpose Pouch Edelweiß – a small,round multi-purpose bag that provides storage space for AirTags, beer tokens, coins, snus, and all other EDC items.

The Chest Rig also offers the necessary adaptation points for UF PRO’s XXXPants so that set-up users can enjoy additional safety, loss protection, freedom of movement,and above all, comfort in EVERY situation.

Kolbeck promised, “You will love wearing this combi—let’s call it tacti-cool or ED-R, meaning Every Day Ready! And not just for your trip to the world’s largest folk and beer festival.”
