CG foundation tribute March 15

The Coast Guard Foundation, a non-profit group designed to the education and welfare of all Coast Guard members and families, will hold its 26th annual ‘Tribute to the Eighth Coast Guard District’ on March 15 at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. The foundation will recognize CG Station Panama City for its regional response to Hurricane Michael. CGS Panama City is a unit operating under the Eighth Coast Guard District’s headquarters in New Orleans. The event will feature an address by the Coast Guard’s Vice Commandant, Adm. Charles Ray. In the aftermath of Michael, the foundation assisted 90 Coast Guard families in the Panama City area with $245,500 of support to help them recover and to rebuild their own homes and personal spaces.
