About the Foundation...The SEAL Legacy Foundation is dedicated to supporting fallen

and wounded United States Navy SEALs, their families and

other members from the SEAL community. As operational

deployments across the world continue to increase, the SEALs

and their families need support now more than ever. These

special operators, their spouses and their children all make

daily sacrifices to defend our nation. The SEAL Legacy

Foundation works to preserve the SEAL Legacy of NO ONE LEFT

BEHIND. The Foundation focuses support on Education,

Funeral, Health & Wellness, Living and Quality of Life expenses

for the SEALs and their families.

How this all came about:• The Glover family and the McGinnis family have been long time family

friends. They have many friends in common and the whole town of

Monroe seems to know each other.

• Our own Debbie Ashcraft taught Mark McGinnis in Preschool!!!

• Johnnie does the sales tax work for Fluid Flow and the McGinnis family

has been clients of the firm… for a very long time.

• Mark, child number 4 and son number 1, went off to the Naval Academy

to play football. The Glovers went to many Navy football games to

watch their local boy make good.

• Graduation time and the Glovers traveled to the Academy to see Mark

finish his time in Annapolis.

• Mark entered the Marine Corps as an officer following graduation and 2

years later became 1 of only 4 Marines to receive an intermilitary transfer

from Marine the the SEAL program.

• Mark successfully completed his training, and went on to lead more than

400 SEAL operations with a 100% mission success rate and zero casualties.

He has completed numerous deployments and operations throughout the

World.

• In 2002 Mark retired from the

Navy but was called back

from 2004-2006 and now

serves in the reserves.

• On December 5th , 2011, Mark

few of his SEAL brothers

established the SEAL Legacy

Foundation to help the

families of fallen and injured

SEALS.

• As of today 74 SEALS have

fallen since 9/11.

• Earlier this year Bucky asked

if we could do our own small,

local event and help to raise

money for the foundation as

well as ‘raise friends’ .

• Grassroots support and

awareness is AS important as

financial support!

• And so the first annual SEAL

Legacy Foundation

fundraising event was born

here in Charlotte!
