San Diego's summer social calendar is already aglow with glamour but this July an event particularly noteworthy invites visitors to be part of something more than elegance. Beneath golden suns on a warm Southern California evening friends and guests will gather not only for a night of live music and gourmet food but to make a lasting mark in the lives of America's best warriors and their families.
In honor of Charles Humphrey Keating IV more commonly referred to as C4 tonight will be dedicated to the C4 Foundation a charity dedicated to helping active-duty Navy SEALs and their families through programs with foundations in neuroscience family bonding and emotional resilience.
An Evening of Music and Friendship with Nate Nathan and the Mac Daddy-O's
The evening gets underway at 6 p.m. with a lively live concert performance by Nate Nathan and the Mac Daddy-O's. With their energetic soul and genre-blurring sound the band provides a blend of rock and soul classics that will provide a terrific beginning to a summer evening party. Regardless of whether or not partygoers are dancing beneath the night sky or downing a cold beverage in a relaxed mood the performance will animate the evening with joy rhythm and a sense of unity.
Throughout the music, the guests will be indulged in rich gourmet appetizers including delectable sliders served with a thoughtfully chosen selection of drinks. From specialty cocktails to craft beers, everything has been thoughtfully planned to provide the best experience for the guests.
Support in Style With Ticket Tiers That Give Back
This is an evening of glamour and cause as attendees are able to give back in meaningful ways. General admission costs $250 per person with the added opportunity to sponsor a Navy SEAL's attendance for $300 for those who wish to give a little extra. For the ultimate experience VIP package packages begin at $1,000 offering additional amenities with added support for the foundation.
What is so special about this event is that it has an immediate and direct impact. All of the donated dollars are tax-deductible and directly contribute to supporting the mission of the C4 Foundation to provide the country's top soldiers and their families with the vital wellness and recovery programs.
A Legacy That Inspires Generosity
The event is in memory of Charles Humphrey Keating IV a decorated Navy SEAL who lost his life in battle while serving with honor and courage. To all he was just C4 his memory lives on through the philanthropic efforts of the foundation his family established to carry on his values of commitment perseverance and love of others.
The C4 Foundation mission is clear and necessary. SEALs of today are not merely at risk of physical damage but of great psychological stress. Long deployments high-risk operations and emotional isolation from their families come at a price that is not necessarily visible but deeply felt.
The C4 Foundation answers these challenges with innovative neuroscience-based programs on the serene C4 Ranch. Surrounded by nature the ranch is a serene sanctuary for SEALs and their families to reconnect heal from trauma and build tools to thrive as an individual and as a team.
Philanthropy and Purpose Converge at the C4 Ranch
In contrast to other therapy models, the C4 Foundation programs are bonding and prevention-based. There are bonding activities ranging from yoga and hiking to group discussion that are all research-informed practices in developing gratitude, optimism, and emotional regulation.
The aim is not only to mend but to strengthen in order to build more resilient families who can endure the weight of service with harmony and integrity.
And through the generosity of donors and functions like this evening's reception the C4 Ranch is able to offer these experiences at no cost to SEALs and their families. It's evidence of what can be achieved for the community when compassion and passion are combined.
Shopping With Heart at the Pop-Up by C4 Foundation
Those who would like to take part of the night home can purchase one-of-a-kind C4 Foundation merchandise available throughout the event. Ranging from style pieces of clothing to symbolic tokens each is not only a wearable reminder of devotion but a direct contribution to the cause.
These are a concrete expression of support throughout the year and extend the message of the foundation beyond the night's event.
A Community of Privilege and Purpose United for Good
It's the perfect blend of experience and sympathy for San Diego's philanthropic community tonight. It's a chance to dine with friends who share similar values in an upscale setting to experience world-class entertainment while making a real difference in the lives of America's most dedicated service members.
But beyond that it is an opportunity to be part of something larger. To be shoulder to shoulder with those who serve and to be able to say in no uncertain terms we see you we support you and we're here for you and your family.
