Military and Civil Service Members past and present coming together to raise awareness and funds for other charitable organizations!
A couple of years ago two shipmates were inspired by each other and a friend's son who has Cystic Fibrosis. They threw together a quick hockey game against some Coasties and raised quite a bit(even after all uniform costs and ice fees.) Many of those players came together again for the Heroes Cup 2017 and raised another substantial chunk of change for CFF and Last Call Foundation (again, hurt by uniform and tournament costs). Participation was intermittent and legal restrictions had us cornered. Rather than a hodgepodge crew of bruisers making a couple of bucks here or there for a good cause, we would put together an official crew of bruisers to raise a few bucks and awareness about various things ranging from Cystic Fibrosis to PTSD to whatever great cause crosses our path. Cystic Fibrosis and veterans' benefits will always be two of our mainstays though. We chose the Goat since the two founding members are part of the Goat Locker (email us if you don't know what that is, legal...)
