Cocktail Party at Navy Beach Raises $5k for Warriors and Their Families

About 100 people turned out to support the Navy SEAL Foundation on Saturday.

Navy Beach partnered with the Navy SEAL Foundation to help raise awareness and, so far, about $5,000 in funds for the organization, which provides for service members and their family.

The cocktail party, “Honoring our Warriors. Supporting their Families” brought out the community, as well as members of Coast Guard Station Montauk, all of whom honored Montauk' Naval history. 

Nancy Atlas performed, and local wines were provided by Lieb Cellars, beer from Brooklyn Brewery.

Navy Beach will continue its support of the Navy SEAL Foundation throughout June. Through July 4th, a donation of $1 will be added to each dining check in support of the Navy SEAL Foundation. Guests can increase the donation if they like. Navy Beach will match the first $2,500 raised.

Online donations are accepted, as well. Click here for more information.

Montauk has strong ties to the armed forces, as the area was used as an Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force base over the years. Fort Pond Bay was a seaplane base, and the Army established Camp Hero with 16-inch guns to protect New York shipping lanes. The Navy's torpedo testing plant was located along Navy Road.
