Helping Children of Family Members KIA

Virginia Beach, VA, September 2011 -- The Hartwell Foundation today provided $125,000 in funding to the Navy SEAL Foundation, who will distribute $5000 to each child of the families of the US Naval Special Warfare community who suffered a devastating loss on August 6, 2011, when 17 Navy SEALs from Team 6 and five support personnel were among 30 Americans who died when their helicopter was shot down by insurgents in Afghanistan.

The Hartwell Foundation continues to provide economic assistance to the Navy SEAL Foundation, which provides critical family support services and tragedy assistance for our servicemen and women.
