OPERATION 300
Special Operations Chief (SEAL) Aaron Carson Vaughn was KIA on August 6th, 2011 when a chopper carrying 30 Americans was shot down in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan while rushing into battle. Aaron left behind 2 small children; a son who was not quite two years old and a daughter who was only nine weeks old on that fateful night. Aaron's story, life, and legacy inspired the creation of Operation 300. We believe that when a member of our Armed Services gives his life in defense of our great nation, the least we can do is pledge to honor that sacrifice by caring for his family. This is the heart behind Operation 300, a registered 501(c)3 not for profit organization that hosts weekend-long adventure camps for children who have lost their parent as a result of military service, pairing each child with a father-aged, male mentor who spends the weekend doing things with the children they might have done with their parent.
Providing mentorship to children of the fallen, honoring the sacrifice of those who’ve given their all for our freedom, and promoting patriotism and service in our communities since 2012.
Your child will face both physical and psychological challenges in the wake of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. POST offers a wide range of support services, including counseling, to help your child and family through the process. Helping your child feel better emotionally can help them get better physically and even speed the healing process so they get back to normal faster.
That’s why our POST Staff includes child life specialists, mental health counselors and case managers who work together to help children and their families as they go through treatment. These services can include counseling, financial assistance or simply talking together to help everyone understand the treatment plan. These services are offered to children and families from Palm Beach, the Treasure Coast and Hendry Counties, and families are eligible for these services regardless of where the child receives diagnosis and treatment.
