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.

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?
