Our Special VIP Keynote Speaker
Chief Warrant Officer Two (CW2) Nick Lavery
Chief Warrant Officer Two (CW2) Nick Lavery is an active-duty member of The United States Army Special Forces. Commonly known as the Green Berets, the Special Forces perform critical missions including direct action, counterinsurgency, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, and unconventional warfare.
In 2013, while deployed to Afghanistan, he and his Detachment fell victim to an insider attack ultimately resulting in the loss of his leg. Following a year of surgeries and initial recovery including the use of a prosthetic at Walter Reed National Medical Military Center, he returned to his unit. In 2015, he returned to his Detachment and was subsequently deployed once again to Afghanistan. Nick is considered the first Special Forces operator to return to combat as an above-the- knee amputee.
Nick is currently serving as a Special Forces Warrant Officer. He is also the first amputee in military history to complete the Special Forces Warrant Officer Technical and Tactical Certification course, the Special Operations Combatives Program Instructor course, and the Special Forces Combat Diver Qualification course.

Q:" Why not give the money directly to the Operating Partners?"
A: In addition to a list of reporting requirements, every year our due diligence team reviews the financials of each OP to make sure they are still in line with our strict financial requirements.
Q: "How much money does The Patriot Fund receive and give?"
A: In 2023, we raised $1,700,000 and distributed the funds in amounts ranging from $7,500 to $130,000! With 6 Operational Partners getting $100,000 or more!
Q: "I cannot make this date," how can I still help?
A: Sponsorships, attending the dinners/galas, and offering to assist our teams as a vice chair for events. Contact us and we'll figure a way for you to get involved!
