Since September 11, 2001, the Naval Special Warfare Community has lost 73 warriors in training and combat. SUPERFROG Inc., mourns the loss of these fallen heroes.

For each of our events (SUPERSEAL/ SEAL SPRINT Triathlons in March and SUPERFROG in September) we will honor these warriors and raise funds for their families through our  tribute banner program. The banners will show pictures of each warrior along with a description of their final actions for our country. Each banner is 6′ by 3′ and will be prominently displayed at our races.

We ask for a minimum contribution of $1000 to be a presenter of a tribute banner. Multiple banners are available. One hundred percent of the funds go directly to the Navy SEAL Foundation (501(c)(3) (Tax ID #31-172-8910).

To sponsor a Fallen Hero, please fill out the form at right. Please make your check out to the Navy SEAL Foundation and mail to:

The Navy SEAL Foundation
717 Alameda Blvd
Coronado, CA 92118

We will place an 18 inch name tape on the banner indicating your generous donation and sponsorship unless you would like to remain anonymous. If you would like to sponsor multiple individuals we can work out a package or block donation as well.

Sponsorship of our Tribute Banners are offered at both our spring and fall events. will be offered again during each of the SUPERFROG
and SUPERSEAL/SEAL Sprint triathlons, as well as Navy SEAL Foundation functions.

After receiving your request, you will be contacted by a SUPERFROG staff member via email. You’ll have the opportunity to also send us a logo to add to your banner.

Thank you for your donation!

Actual banners shown below. Each banner measures 6 ft x 3 ft. (click on any banner to enlarge).


Additional Information:

Since its inception SUPERFROG has had as its core mission to be a race that was “for the guys”.

Those “guys” are the men and women of Naval Special Warfare. Over the past 34 years SUPERFROG has evolved into a grass-roots effort to promote a healthy Naval Special Warfare lifestyle and raise money to directly support charities and organizations related to Naval Special Warfare.

If available you can choose the specific name of a fallen warrior to sponsor or if you would like we can choose for you. We will place a name tape (with your name/companies name) on the banner indicating your generous donation and sponsorship unless you specify that you would like to remain anonymous.

Thank you for your consideration and kind support.
