All you need is Love and a Good Teammate

In addition to our annual Gala scheduled October 22, we have added an opportunity February 13 for our military rich community to hear from a family member the “why” we have Fisher Houses and the comfort it provides during a medical event.
Jennifer, military spouse of wounded warrior Capt. Nate Nelson, USAF, Ret. will share her perspective. Nate, who suffered a spinal cord injury from a rocket blast in Afghanistan when Jennifer was 6 months pregnant, has no movement below his chest and limited use of his hands. Today, Nate works in the office of local congressman Matt Gaetz.

She will be joined on stage by Joe Markin, USAF retired, a three-time Command Chief Master Sergeant who presently works with Veterans United Home Loans and Geico for a conversational format. While Joe’s military service is impressive, he has recently become an international motivational speaker and will be at several military bases in Korea early March, inspiring our troops. Serving as Master of Ceremonies will be the amazingly dynamic Neko Stubblefield, Public Relations Director for Eglin Federal Credit Union. Our friends at One 20 A Modern Bistro are providing the heavy hors d’oeuvres for the evening and a cash bar will be available. Local talent Chevon Corlew Coleman will sing the National Anthem and special music will be provided by British Invasion Band. Proceeds of this event will benefit our Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, Inc as we continue keeping military families together during a medical event, for hope and healing.
