Annual Fundraiser

All in All The Time

Thank you for your interest in the first ever Tommy V Revelry Bakersfield to benefit the All in All The Time Foundation. Tom Valentine was a U.S. Navy SEAL who served 18.5 years with the majority of his career at Development Group. Tom Lost his life February 13th 2008 in a skydiving accident. Tom's wife Christina, through her loss, saw the need to help the other families of Naval Special Warfare that have experienced the same loss. She started All in All The Time Foundation to provide support for surviving spouses, children, and operators whose needs do not fit into the standard non-profit organization prerequisites. These non-standard needs can include things like: legal fees, wills, estate management, household and auto repairs or modifications, counseling assistance (outside of the military chain) and various critical, immediate support categories.

With the ever-changing needs of the Special Operations community, AIATT has expanded its profile to reach out to not only Gold Star Families, but active-duty and retired members of NSW. We will provide support for Injury Recovery, Transition Assistance, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and PTS (Post Traumatic Syndrome) related needs, and scholarships for active and retired SOF veterans.

All in All The Time is a small organization that fundraises with very little overhead operating costs. This is to ensure that all funds that are raised go to benefit those who have sacrificed so much.
