For several years the men and women who fish throughout Alaska have been working with the

Madigan Foundation

www.mamc.amedd.army.mil/madigan_foundation/foundation_Homepage.htm to raise funds to help the men and women who serve in our armed forces.   Each year fishermen and processors unite to host a seafood party for the families of those wounded in the battlefield.   In addition to this, funds are raised, by those who fish and process,  to support such worthy 501c3, non- profit organizations, which help our men and women in the service, including but not limited to

Operation Purple Heart

National Military Family Association

http://www.militaryfamily.org/.  

As with all non profit participation from NOVA, we strive to select organizations with a low cost of administration and a well documented financial commitment to those they serve - - in this case - - the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.   And NOVA is ever so grateful to work on this with some wonderful friends in the fishing and processing community, in particular  the Alaska Scallops Association and Trident Seafoods.
