We represent Team: Overwatch, an organization that raises funds to support veterans of the United States. We’re excited to announce our third-annual Keg-Tow Swim Benefit and BBQ, where board member Samantha Haney and company swim a mile in Puget Sound towing a beer keg to our donor party. We're all set for Saturday, Oct. 1 at Ballard Elks Lodge; all we need is YOU to make the event a success.

We are a 501(c)3 organization (Tax ID# 47-1438097), so any donation, in-kind or monetary, is tax deductible. The funds that we raise are distributed to veterans and their families in the form of scholarships for services, such as continuing education, service animals, and adaptive equipment. Two years ago, we donated an education scholarship to the Explosive Ordinance Demolition Warrior Foundation. Last year, we ran a holiday toy drive, and helped another family raise funds with adaptive housing.

This year, a portion of our funds will pay for a soldier's service dog, its training, as well as care and feeding for a year.

BASIC DETAILS

When: Oct. 1, 2016, 4 - 6 PM

Where: Ballard Elks, 6411 Seaview Ave NW, Seattle WA 98107

TICKETS

The minimum donation for an invitation is $25, and that's your ticket to the party, including parking, food, home-brewed beer, a superb raffle, a Corn Hole tournament, and more. If you feel like donating more, we have some unique Team: Overwatch swag we'd love to send you.

UP THE CHALLENGE?

When you donate $100 or more, we will add a big red brick to Sam's beer barge.

CAN BUSINESSES PARTICIPATE?

You bet! Contact Team: Overwatch for details about sponsorship, donationS and raffle opportunities.

The small print...When you check out, you'll see that your funds are processed by Waypoint Ventures LLC. That is Sam's company, and you have her word that everything will be transferred to Team: Overwatch. Waypoint Ventures is very proud to sponsor Team: Overwatch, and not just because David is Sam's brother. :)

A little help from my friends Jessie and Bridgette

Update posted by Samantha Haney at 12:53 am

Please welcome Jessie and Bridgette to the towing team! They've pledged $500 to the Keg-Tow. Knowing them, that goal will be water vapor if they raise funds anything like they swim.
