As a lifelong resident of Baton Rouge, I realize the power of community. This community has supported my businesses over the years and in turn, our company has made a point in giving back wherever and whenever we can. When a community or group of people join together for a cause, I know that good things usually happen.

That’s why my wife Luci and I created The Stabiler Foundation — an organization that partners with the community to support causes that are important to us all: children, the military, hunger issues and local community needs.

This cause is very close to my heart, since I have a dear friend who is a retired Navy SEAL. These men put their lives on the line to protect the very freedom that we enjoy every day. Since 2018, with the help of generous folks in the community, we’ve raised over $500,000 to benefit tragedy assistance, warrior and family support, educational opportunities, and child development.

Each of those events were a huge success thanks to our community supporters!

I would like to personally invite you to be a part of our 2024 Sizzlin’ For SEALS Soirée to be held on

Thursday, October 24, 6:00 pm at Live Oak at Cedar Lodge.

You will enjoy a delicious dinner of Prime Beef with Maine lobster prepared by expert chefs from the finest restaurants in Baton Rouge. There
will be a live & silent auction featuring amazing items for bid! As always, not just “a portion,” but 100% of the funds raised from the evening will go to the Navy SEAL Museum.

For more information on tickets or how you might become involved as a Sponsor, please visit https://sizzlinforseals.home.qtego.us/

I really hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Wayne

Thanks to all who supported us in 2022!
