Task Force Dagger Special Operation Foundation's SOF Auction & Raffle

Presented by 

Cubic proudly presents the 2024 SOF Auction & Raffle in support of the Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation! 

For the past 12 years, Cubic has hosted SOF community members, colleagues, and industry leaders at this annual event during SOF Week. Thanks to the generosity of our participants, we have raised over $400,000, all of which has benefited the Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation.

This year, we are excited to announce that the auction will conclude on Tuesday, May 7th, 2024, during the Cubic Social event at the Embassy Suites adjacent to the Tampa Convention Center. All proceeds will directly support the active and former Special Operations service members and their families whom TFDSOF assists.

With the contribution of many generous sponsors, a selection of premium items has been donated for the auction. We invite you to start bidding early when the online auction opens at 8:00 AM EST on April 29th. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those who serve by participating in this significant opportunity to help raise funds for TFDSOF.

About Task Force Dagger Special Operation Foundation

Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation provides assistance to active and former US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) members and their families. We respond to urgent needs, conduct Rehabilitative Adaptive Events (RAE), and provide next-generation health solutions for issues facing our service members.

Founded and run by special ops veterans, we understand the complexities of the long journey to physical, mental, and family wellness. Each of our programs are designed to provide the tools and atmosphere for SOF families to heal, rebuild, and move forward together with mission, purpose, and focus.

IMMEDIATE NEEDS PROGRAM

2023 IMPACT: WARFIGHTERS & FAMILIES IMPACTED: 322

When adversity strikes - whether through combat wounds, training injuries, or sudden illnesses - Task Force Dagger is here. Our Immediate Needs Assistance covers a wide range of support not provided by the Department of Defense, VA, or insurance. We stand ready to support wounded, ill, or injured USSOCOM members and their families during their most critical times. Understanding the unique journey to physical and family wellness, our programs are tailored to help SOF families heal, rebuild, and progress with purpose and focus.

"On behalf of myself and my family, I just wanted to thank you so much for your organization's care and support throughout the last year. Your organization has been an amazing resource that has greatly supported my recovery through, now, multiple surgeries and rehab periods. I wanted to let you know we received the check for my mother’s flight and just wanted to say thanks again for that and the personal card. It is an amazing feeling knowing organizations such as yourself truly care about us and our families.”

REHABILITATIVE ADAPTIVE EVENTS

2023 IMPACT: WARFIGHTERS & FAMILIES IMPACTED: 181

DAGGER DIVE

Dagger Dive is a transformative Rehabilitative Adaptive Event that promotes healing and rehabilitation for wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families. Fusing the healing power of the ocean with community support, this holistic journey embraces the entire family - fostering a sense of belonging and support with others that understand the challenges of recovery. Participants emerge with enduring memories and deeper family connections, celebrating progress and the path to recovery together. While Dagger Dive is centered around the rehabilitative power of diving, extends its experience well beyond the underwater adventures. The event is designed not just as a diving exercise but as a holistic experience that integrates SOF families into the vibrant Key West community, fostering connections and experiences that enrich the healing process.

"We communicated and related to each other in such a healing way. I hadn't truly connected with my wife, Kristy, and children for years the way we did at Dagger Dive. My son and I scuba-dived and had an amazing bonding experience. My daughter enjoyed the free time to spend with us in a stress-free, relaxed, and fun environment. The joy that Dagger Dive gave to us was incredible. I get emotional when I talk about it because I had never spent that much quality time with my family."

- Jimmy Rooney, U.S. Army Special Force, Retired

JOINT RECOVERY TEAM

The Joint Recovery Mission mobilizes our Special Operations Forces (SOF) members towards a sacred objective: locating missing US service members. Members of the Joint Recovery Team are dedicated to a direct and noble goal: they identify, map, and document archaeological sites that could provide crucial information. These sites are key to understanding the fate of those lost in war and conflicts, enabling us to bring closure to their families and honor their service.

“Being part of something like this is beyond words, to be allowed to help fulfill America's promise to bring everyone home."

- Ed Rasmussen, U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.)

This initiative leverages collaborations with the Department of Defense, Veteran’s Affairs, and a network of external organizations to offer a comprehensive array of alternative wellness solutions. SOF Health Initiatives & Education Program embodies a multifaceted approach to improving health outcomes for the SOF community. By integrating personalized healthcare, education, advocacy, and community engagement, the program is dedicated to supporting not only individual warfighters but also their families, ensuring a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.

“TFDSOF is one of the most genuinely helpful and supportive veteran organizations out there. Their hands-on approach was very helpful on my path to treatment. Everything they do is efficient, precise, and effective. I am incredibly grateful for all the opportunities they gave me to better myself.”
