American Friends of Israel Navy SEALs is running a fundraising campaign to sponsor barbecues for Shayetet 13 teams, offering donors a photo from the sponsored event. Last year's campaign funded 40 barbecues; this year aims to expand.
American Friends of Israel Navy SEALs (AFINS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has launched a fundraising drive to sponsor barbecues for Shayetet 13 teams. The campaign, promoted on social media, invites donors to support a 'vital point of connection and community' for the commandos. According to the appeal, last year 40 barbecues were funded. Donors are offered a photo from the event they sponsor. The message includes a testimonial from an Israel Navy SEAL describing the barbecues as a rare moment of sanity and connection amid operational pressures.
The drive is separate from a prior appeal for reservists in Nahal Oz (as The Zioneer reported on June 28), which sought donations for a different unit's end-of-rotation event.
