05/26/08 - Greenwich Post Reports: 70 Grand Raised For Soldiers For The Truth's BEST Event

Greenwich Silver Shield Honor Guard, Caeterina G. Veronesi, Cameron Scott and Eilhys England joined together during a fund-raiser recently to honor Col. David Hackworth and raise money for equipment for front-line troops.

BEST event raised awareness and more than $70,000

Stormy weather didn’t deter 250 guests who came out for the Soldiers for the Truth (SFTT) Foundation’s BEST (Best Equipment in Support of the Troops) cocktail reception and benefit auction at Richards of Greenwich on May 9. BEST paid tribute to the late Col. David “Hack” Hackworth, by raising more than $70,000 to protect the troops ‘out at the tip of the spear’ that he loved and continues to fight for through his nonpartisan, apolitical, nonprofit legacy foundation SFTT.
