I am blown away by how quickly we are making progress. I'm going to continue to provide updates on this partnership between Neptune Warrior and the Stanshaw Foundation, but first I want to say thank you to everyone who's contributed to the Cordy Gator Rice Coaching Scholarship. Every single dollar matters, whether you were someone who could give big or you gave what you could. You have helped make this possible. We wanted something that would carry Cordy's legacy, his strength, his compassion, his ability to listen and simply be a friend, and his scholarship does just that. Coaching isn't therapy and coaching is not counseling. It's about moving forward. Building strength and finding clarity. But coaching, with good coaches, can be expensive, and too many veterans who could benefit, they just can't afford it. That's why this scholarship exists. It's to honor Cordy by opening doors, and it's why we need to kick this off right. 100% of what's raised goes directly to coaching. And we're not going to have We're not going to do half measures. Let's do this right, right from the start. And please share this with everyone you know. We had a great start, but there's still a long march to get us where we need to be, and that's to get professional certified coaches secured. Let's continue this journey because together we're going to make even a bigger impact. Again, thank you Everyone who is contributing, everyone who is sharing this. Let's get this thing going. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
