Gift supports the Navy SEALs Fund that provides assistance to current, retired and former SEALs

The Navy SEALs Fund (SEALs) is pleased to announce that Michael and Kristina Gabelli have made a $20,000 donation to provide education and financial assistance to current, retired, and former SEAL teammates and their immediate families.

The SEALs organization was founded in December of 2009 by former Navy SEALs to provide financial assistance to members of the Navy SEAL community. The organization offers emergency assistance and care to current, retired and former Navy SEAL teammates and their immediate dependents, including Gold Star Families, and also provides Post Traumatic Syndrome (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) support.

Brad Bailey, President of the Navy SEALs Fund, said, “We are sincerely grateful and honored to have the generous financial support from Michael and Kristina Gabelli. This gift enables the Navy SEALS Fund to keep our commitment to Navy SEALs and their families with quick reaction funding and assistance when it is needed for life-changing events. Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield is our mission, focused on giving back to our teammates who need help dealing with the physical and psychological trauma from a life serving their country. We could not do this without the tremendous support from thoughtful donors like Michael and Kristina Gabelli.”

“We're very pleased to make this donation to the SEALs, an outstanding charity that tirelessly works to serve the needs of some of our bravest veterans,” said Michael Gabelli. “We are proud to support the efforts of this very worthy organization and are grateful for the work they do year-round. We are honored to support the brave men and women that sacrifice so much to protect our country and our freedom. We are confident our donation will have a meaningful and immediate impact on the work they are doing."
