Rockin' with the Seals is a band composed of several golf/entertainment personalities and former rockstars who often perform together in fundraising events for military support. They will be headlined by The Reservoir Dogs, a well-known local group!

The Cause

Firstly, we as Cateechee Conference Center are happy to host these two important memorials on our grounds to display and commemorate the sacrifices made by our country's veterans. In doing this, we are also using this event as an opportunity to launch the Gold Star Family Trust, which is a trust designed to support the families of those who have lost their supporting figure while in service to their country. We believe the commemoration of those who have lost their lives in service in the past goes hand in hand with helping guarantee the wellbeing of those they leave behind.
