On September 13, 2025, The Honor Foundation held its 5th Annual Swim for SOF event with nearly 120 swimmers who all showed their grit in an incredible display of athleticism, determination, and camaraderie.
Our participants included THF Alumni, event sponsors, and mission supporters who crushed the challenging 3.3 mile swim from Coronado Island to the USS Midway with two tribute workouts.
This event takes countless hours behind-the-scenes and requires a huge amount of support, and we are endlessly grateful to all who make it possible. Thank you to our Title Sponsor @camedicalsolutions and our Presenting Sponsor @sunbeltrentals for your continuous support and belief in the Swim for SOF event. To our event sponsors: @shopgovx, @blackriflecoffee, NAIOP San Diego Chapter, @dudewipes, @jpmorganchase, @anduril_industries, @bubsnaturals, @ouraring, @surefoxnorthamerica, @networkingjoe, @apollo.management, @sdyachtcharters, @intercontinentalsd, @ussmidwaymuseum, and @bullbarfit — we greatly appreciate your generosity, participation and partnership.
To our Tribe of Volunteers: we could not have done this without you. You were exceptional. To all the captains — thank you for going above and beyond. To the boat crews and water support — thank you for keeping our swimmers safe. To all those who donated special items to our silent auction – your small contribution makes a great impact.
To our speakers: THF Board Member Michael Kendall, THF Alumnus Antone Aku, THF Alumnus Peyton Knippel on behalf of CA Medical — your remarks truly captured the great meaning that this event and community has, and we’re so grateful to you for articulating the spirit of the day in such a beautiful way.
Thank you to THF Alumnus @jason_rivers281 for your commitment to the event year after year.
And to all those who were there and are sharing, tagging, and spreading awareness about this event across your network, we are beyond appreciative for your support.
