Grateful & Honored! A huge THANK YOU to Lockheed Martin for joining us as a Platinum Sponsor for the 2025 Helping Heroes Gala! Their unwavering support of our military families helps us provide comfort, care, and a home away from home when it’s needed most. We’re proud to partner with such a dedicated leader in supporting our heroes.

We are grateful for the continued support of Don and Janis Bishop, who are ALL things charitable across our region.

InDyne is a proven leader in successfully managing and operating ranges and test facilities for government, military and commercial purposes, specific to us Eglin AFB’s 96th TW range here in our backyard and host to #48 Fisher House of the Emerald Coast.

After serving 20 years in the Air Force as a F-16 and F-35 pilots, Todd and his family relocated to Niceville. Since retirement, he has continued his commitment to service, joining Boeing as a Customer Engagement Lead at Eglin Air Force Base. Mr. Lafortune was introduced to the Fisher House early in his career, and has remained committed to our mission. He now joins our Board of Directors, and brings experience and passion for supporting our military community.

Originally from the United Kingdom, now living in Navarre, Angela brings her many years of management, finance, marketing and military support to our team. Angela led several organizations, coordinating thousands of volunteer hours which produced over $200K in donations to local charities.  Fun Fact: Angela returns to our board. In our early years, she was responsible for our marketing and PR efforts before the Fisher House on Eglin was built. We are thrilled to have her join us again!
