YOU DID IT!
On September 17, 2022, nearly 100 swimmers – more than double from the previous year – dominated the open water and tribute workouts for The Honor Foundation’s 2nd Annual Swim for SOF event presented by Surefox in San Diego, CA.
This special event takes strength, both physically and mentally, and absolute dedication from its participants made up of THF Alumni, event sponsors, and mission supporters to conquer the challenging 3.3 mile swim from Coronado Island to the USS Midway with two tribute workouts.
As we reflect on the day’s events and the countless hours behind-the-scenes, we feel enormous gratitude. Thank you to THF Alumnus @jason_rivers281 for your commitment to the event and to THF; for your encouragement to all swimmers to do something great; and for your incredible heart to inspire those around you.
An enormous thank you to our returning presenting sponsor, @surefoxnorthamerica, for your continuous belief in our mission and the team behind it – your partnership is held with the deepest of gratitude. To our other returning sponsors – @shopgovx, @jpmorgan, @fitbit, @bubsnaturals, @apollo.management – thank you for your continued support. To our new event sponsors – @outdoor.office, @slalomconsulting, @anduril_industries, @sunbeltrentals, and @vebaresourcectr – we sincerely appreciate you joining our mission and being a part of this special day.
To the @ussmidwaymuseum, @intercontinentalsd, @socalmaritimesupport and Elite Maritime Services — your hard work and coordination to make this day safe for our swimmers was nothing short of exceptional. To our Tribe of Volunteers — we could not have done this without you. To all those who donated special items to our silent auction – your small contribution makes a great impact. To Mark O’Neil, @swimmermichael and @frankshamrock – we are grateful to have had you be part of our special day.
And to all those who attended our special day and sharing, tagging, and spreading the awareness of this event across your network, we are beyond appreciative for your support.
Save the date for September 16, 2023! In the meantime, stay tuned for more Swim for SOF photos and videos on the way! 🇺🇸
