Always Beside You!

Over 71 wounded/injured/ill service members, their families and guests enjoyed a night of great food, fellowship, laughter and so much more. The dinner was held at the Washington Golf & Country Club and hosted by Aleethia’s dear friend, Tillie and her son, Jim.

We welcomed Virginia ABC Board Chairman Jeffrey Painter and William Grant & Sons’ District Manager of Virginia, Amy Pastrick to the dinner. For the seventh consecutive year, Virginia ABC is partnering with William Grant & Sons to help support wounded/injured/ill service members through the Aleethia Foundation’s programs. For every bottle of “Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum” sold between May and August in Virginia, partial proceeds will be donated to the Aleethia Foundation.

Chairman Jeffrey Painter presented his challenge coin to each wounded/injured/ill service member.

A service member made a toast to the “Sailor Jerry Program” … “Never above you … Never below you … Always beside you!" (Quote from Walter Winchell)

Special “Sailor Jerry” door prizes …..

Thanks to everyone who made this a fun and wonderful evening!
