On Saturday, June 17th from 3–5pm, Navy Beach will host a cocktail party to benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation. The cocktail party will be the official kick-off to the fifth season of fundraising efforts at the restaurant. This year’s event will include remarks by Mike Zapata, a former US Navy SEAL who deployed multiple times to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Horn of Africa, and other locations in the Middle East and West Africa. Mike has been an active supporter of the Navy SEAL Foundation since transitioning out of the military and entering the field of investment management, where he is currently founder and portfolio manager of Sententia Capital Management, a value-investing based capital management fund in New York. Other Navy SEAL Foundation representatives and local veterans and supporters will be in attendance.
The event will feature live music by Nancy Atlas, wines provided by Turquoise Life, beer from Montauk Brewing Co. and signature light bites of Navy Beach’s favorite menu items. In addition, guests will be able to bid on silent auction items and purchase raffle tickets for several prizes. The cost to attend the event is $50 per adult, $25 for veterans, and free for children under 16. The restaurant will be open for regular dinner service beginning at 5:30 pm, and reservations are recommended; Kindly RSVP for the cocktail party to nsf@navybeach.com.
Navy Beach will continue its support of the Navy SEAL Foundation throughout the 2017 season, enabling guests to support the cause directly each time they dine at the restaurant. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, a donation of $1 will be added to each dining check in support of the Navy SEAL Foundation. Guests will also be able to increase the value of the donation if they like. In an effort to improve upon the $30,000 raised for the foundation last year ($90,000 since 2013), Navy Beach will again match the first $2,500 raised through this season’s efforts.
