Below are various charities that provide support to SF soldiers and their families:
CHAPTER 28 SPONSORS
American Airlines trough the Air Power Foundation generously provides air transportation for the Active Duty Special Forces participants in our Retreats and Wounded Warrior events.
No visit to Montana would be adequate without a dinner at Rib and Chop. The Billings location has generously donated our opening event for the Bighorn Respite. We can attest that there is no better place to experience excellence in service, food, beverage and the signature “Montana” dining experience.
We gratefully thank the owners and staff for their continued support of the community of SFA XXVIII
HSM was founded by one of our Vietnam era Special Forces veterans and has grown into a very successful Montana Company. They are always willing to donate ammo and funds to support our efforts to help the active Special Forces in whatever way we can. Whenever you see HSM’s signature orange boxes of ammo at one of our events, you know they are once again stepping up to support the Special Forces
W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company goes all the way back to the First Special Service Force of WWII and the V-42 dagger. Case crafted this legendary military dagger before modern Special Forces were created. Case Knives has always been a patriotic company and a trusted supplier of edged weapons for elite military units. They continue to support us today keeping alive a relationship several decades old.
A strong supporter of SFA and the military. In the true spirit of the Devil’s Brigade, Whitefish Mountain Resort is also an enthusiastic supporter of the Canadian Military.
Another heroically patriotic supporter of our Retreats. Ruby Springs lodge treats our Special Forces Soldiers to the fly fishing trip of a lifetime. We could say they are treated like “rock stars” but that might be a step down from the experience they have at Ruby Springs.
Brad and Andi Halsten are incredible community partners who stepped up immediately when approached to be sponsors of the Bighorn respite. No foodie should miss the experience of The Burger Dive. The families were treated to the award winning burgers, shakes and fries served up in true Billings, Montana form. We are eternally grateful for their support
Tanya Weinreis and Mountain Mudd Espresso provided their signature coffees with incredible generosity. We are grateful for their support of the Bighorn Respite in Billings Montana
JIM AND WHITNEY CROSBY - THE LONGVIEW FOUNDATION
The Crosby’s and Longview foundation are strong supporters of Chapter 28. This family is an outstanding Montana example of how to live the American Dream and give back to those that continue the fight.
Kalispell Toyota has been an enthusiastic sponsor of our Retreats. They donate rental cars and do everything they can to make sure these families have a great vacation in Montana.
Big Sky Brewing Company is a sponsor and avid supporter of the Montana Special Forces Association. Some of our members are also investors in the brewery. Special Forces and great beer just go together!
Willie’s Distillery was founded by one of our Special Forces Brothers, Willie Blazer, and his wife Robin in Ennis, Montana. They are strong supporters of the Special Forces Association and an inspiring Montana success story. Willie donates a portion of the sales of his Devil's Brigade Whisky to the Montana Special Forces Association. You can find out where to buy it here.
When a day at the lake called, Bretz RV answered, and provided our families with a fabulous boat and driver for fun at Yellowtail. We are incredibly grateful for the gorgeous boat that made our day possible. Thank you Bretz RV
The thrill of a wake boat can’t be matched, and Montana Wake Company showed up for our participants with a gorgeous boat on lake day. They proved that local companies will support in a huge way to help make SFA 28th respite promise happen for these deserving soldiers and their families. Our community is a better place because of the people at Montana Wake Co.
Cabela’s came through for our participants with gear and products to make our respite special for everyone. We are forever grateful for their partnership in the Billings area.
Provides logistics and training solutions to agencies and units attached to the Dept. of Defense (and other federal agencies), private security contractors, as well as local and federal law enforcement agencies.
A local Montana bank located in Columbia Falls that supports the Glacier Country community and the military. This is a bank that clearly shares the values of the SFA “Freedom is not a right, freedom is earned.” Without local banks like Freedom Bank, many small Montana businesses would never get a chance to open their doors and our nation would be less competitive as a result.
Proof Doughnuts and Coffee jumped at the opportunity to show off their unique doughnuts for our participants. This small new shop showed off in a big way. Every morning was made special as families dug into the doughnut box on their way to events, testing and tasting, and falling in love with Proof doughnuts.
A local Montana company founded by an avid Montana bowhunter. Howling Wind Forge custom knives are handmade and unique, giving every owner a “one of a kind” knife that will last a lifetime. Specializing in fixed blade and folding knives, designed and crafted primarily from D2 and Damascus, worthy of heavy use or as a show piece for your collection.
