Cowboy Salute to the SEALS

The Kappa Sigma fraternity at McNeese State University has partnered with the nonprofit Navy SEAL Legacy Foundation to raise money and awareness for fallen and wounded United States Navy SEALS and their families, and the entire Navy SEAL Community. Event Coordinator Breland Cook, a McNeese senior and Kappa Sigma member, says the fraternity hopes to raise $35,000 to support the cause. “We kicked off the fundraising campaign in August and the event will culminate on November 19 during McNeese State’s home game against Lamar University. A Navy SEAL jump team will skydive into Cowboy Stadium for the check presentation. We wanted to do this event to support some of our nation’s finest servants, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our freedom and the American way of life”
