WISHING YOU A HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2023!
LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
Dear Night Stalker Foundation friends,
As I reflect on 2022 and exciting opportunities for 2023, I want to thank you for your interest, support and critical contributions to our cause. 2022 was a banner year for the Foundation. We set records in every category, doing more for more Night Stalkers and Families. With your generous support, we are raised over $1 million this year. And with those funds, we were able to have the impact we are organized and chartered to make! Most notably, our Family Resiliency Coordinator, Ms. Charlie Trussel, established the SOAR Family Collaborative, sponsoring and producing events focused on building resilience and teamwork with Night Stalker Families and Children. Charlie touched over 300 Families and more than 700 children in 2022 and she is just getting started! We also awarded a record amount of scholarships to Night Stalker Soldiers and Family Members and look forward to beating that record next year. And, it is our honor to support the Families of Fallen Night Stalkers and their programs to connect our Gold Star Families and meet their unique and special needs.
We look forward to doing even more in 2023 and with your help we can do so! Nearly every dollar contributed goes directly to scholarships, the SOAR Family Collaborative or Families of Fallen Night Stalkers. Our Boards of Directors Advisors are all volunteers and work tirelessly to enable us to serve our flock. We had only 4 paid “employees” in 2022 – Charlie Trussell and 3 interns, Night Stalker children and recipients of NSF scholarships all, Blakely Wilkinson, Gage Savage, and Maddy Perez. We are thrilled to announce that Ms. Tina Englen joined our team in December as our Office Manager. With her help, we aspire to scale our efforts to have an even greater impact! So, your donations have a direct impact!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish you and your Families a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! We look forward to seeing you at Night Stalker Foundation events in 2023. Please keep an eye out for happenings near you.
Night Stalkers Don’t Quit,
Kevin
