When New York Yankees George Steinbrenner passed away he
left an extraordinary record of philanthropy. As a military historian
with a particular interest in special operations, one of his favorite
charities was the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Over the years, George Steinbrenner has supported the
foundation monetarily, and also by hosting families of fallen special
operations warriors at Yankee Stadium and here in Tampa for spring training
games.
Although Mr. Steinbrenner is gone, his family is
continuing his tradition of generosity by asking those who wish to honor his
memory to make donations to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. If
you would like to honor Mr. Steinbrenner's memory with a donation click on the
"Make A Donation" menu item on the left side of the web page.
The online donation form has a list of people in whose memory you can make a
donation, including Mr. Steinbrenner's.
SOWF: A Four Star Charity
(Nov. 1, 2009) We are proud to announce that the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has earned its fourth consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances from the nation's leading charity watchdog group, Charity Navigator. Only 7% of the charities rated by Charity Navigator have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Special Operations Warrior Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. "This 'exceptional' designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Special Operations Warrior Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust," said Ken Berger, President/CEO, Charity Navigator.

Restoring Honor Rally Supports SOWF
Come celebrate America by honoring our heroes, our heritage and our future at the Restoring Honor Rally on August 28, 2010. Join us at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. for this non-political, non-partisan rally that will recognize our First Amendment rights and honor the service members who fight to protect those freedoms. Every day servicemen and women risk their lives to protect our country. It is through the support of non-profit organizations like the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF)that the families of these soldiers are taken care of in the event of an accident or loss of life. To support the "Restoring Honor" Rally and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation click here.
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is very fortunate to receive support from people from across America including individuals, corporations, family foundations, the men and women serving in the military, small business owners, and people participating in events. As a non-profit organization we are non-political and appreciate the support from everyone who wants to assist us with our noble cause. As Americans we all have the right to our own personal viewpoints. We respect those rights and the viewpoints of our supporters do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of the Foundation.
