An Extraordinary Evening at Quail Valley

An Extraordinary Evening at Quail Valley River Club

An Extraordinary Evening at Quail Valley River Club returned to Vero Beach on March 2, 2026, benefiting Navy SEAL Museum Charities.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres along the serene Indian River at Quail Valley River Club, followed by an intimate dinner, inspiring keynote remarks, and moving testimonials that reinforced the mission of the Museum.

This hallmark event reflects the Museum’s enduring presence in our local community, honoring the history along the shores where it all began.

The evening served as a powerful reminder of why the Museum exists: not only to preserve the history and heritage of Naval Special Warfare, but to ensure the stories of these warriors and their families never fade and that they are cared for long after their service.

Lieutenant (SEAL) Jason Redman, USN (Ret.), delivered a riveting keynote address, sharing his personal testimony on what it means to be a leader and a teammate both inside and outside the SEAL Teams.

This event is graciously hosted by SEAL Team Vero Beach.

SEAL Team Vero Beach is the driving force behind An Extraordinary Evening. Working as a team, cohosts Helen and Dr. Jim Shafer, and Charlene and Don McClure, serve as the event’s dynamic committee.
