“Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum,” named to honor the life and legacy of Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins, formed the creation of The Norman Collins Initiative at The Aleethia Foundation, designed to raise funds for Aleethia in its ongoing efforts to support wounded/injured/ill service members in their rehabilitation and healing process.
“Aleethia is excited about the expanding support through the Norman Collins Initiative,” stated Hal Koster, Executive Director and Founder of the Aleethia Foundation. “We are a volunteer organization that exists because wonderful organizations like Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum have shared our vision of support.”
Norman Collins served in the Navy before making his home in WWII-era Honolulu. He established his legendary tattoo shop that quickly became a must stop destination for sailors on Shore Leave who would wait in line to receive Collins’ iconic, Americana flash art work.
Partial proceeds from every bottle of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum sold in participating states’ programs will benefit the Aleethia Foundation.
Participating states for 2018 include Alabama Delaware Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Mississippi North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia Washington DC.
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum continues to honor Norman Collins and his legacy through programs and partnerships “that honor the man and what he stood for.”
Since October 2003, over 59,000 meals have been provided to service members and their families who have participated in Aleethia’s “Friday Night Dinner” program. The wounded/injured/ill service members are not only facing difficult medical problems but they are away from their families and friends. A night out from the hospital helps them and any traveling family members to get away from their health issues for a short time and relax. This all helps in the healing process!
With the help of donations from supporters, The Aleethia Foundation is able to continue to support the tradition of the Friday Night Dinners, to provide special grants and to provide direct and immediate assistance to the wounded/injured/ill service members.
So spread the word!!! Enjoy a Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum beverage at your local bar Buy a bottle Buy a case and support our service members.
Aleethia extends a huge THANK YOU to William Grant & Sons and the USA participating distributors for their continuous support!
