STEADFAST IN SUPPORTING SEAL-NSW FAMILIES

Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, recently provided a new Viking VI Ranch Edition Side-by-Side (SxS) to the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foun- dation (NSW) for auction at their annual fundrais- er near San Diego, California. Built in the U.S. at Yamaha’s Newnan, Georgia factory, the Proven Off-Road Viking VI Ranch Edition donation raised capital toward the organization’s mission of sup- porting SEAL members’ families. This marks Ya- maha’s fifth-consecutive year of aiding NSW, totaling more than $100,000 in funding for the much-deserved recipients. “It has been an honor to support the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation and its mission of assisting the families of those who defend our freedoms,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV / SxS group marketing manager. “Each year we appreciate the opportuni- ty to work with this highly esteemed organization and support their efforts to raise awareness and assistance for the brave and heroic SEAL-NSW families.” The SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Founda- tion is a San Diego based 501(c)(3) nonprofit orga- nization founded in 2008 that raises awareness

and funds for special programs in direct support of the NSW families on a local, national and global scale.

Fenick, CAPT, USN (Ret), Executive Director for SEAL- NSW. “The generous donations from partners like Yamaha allow us to support the needs of these important families and provide the right programs – both now and in the future.” In the motorsports market, Yamaha makes the toughest, most capable and versatile ATV and Side-by-Side vehicles.
