āAt Rosendin we have numerous employees who are also Veterans, so a partnership with the Navy SEAL Foundation just makes sense,ā said David Lincoln, VP of Rosendinās Renewable Energy Group and NSF Committee Member. āRosendin is proud to organize this annual golf tournament benefitting the Navy SEAL Foundation for the fourth year running, resulting in a total of over $1 million raised since we started this partnership.ā
The Marine Corp Color Guard kicked off the event with the Presentation of Colors, followed by the Newport Harbor High School Choir and drumline leading in the singing of the National Anthem.
āWe are so grateful to Rosendin and everyone who took part to help the Navy SEAL Foundation continue its projects assisting veterans and their families,ā said Mark Kendall, Committee Chairman for the Navy SEAL Foundation. āBy working together with partners like Rosendin, the Navy SEAL Foundation can provide comprehensive programs that empower and educate families and give support during times of illness, injury, loss, and transition.ā
