Annual Event Honors Dedication and Bravery of Coast Guard Members

Horizon Air Freight, an acclaimed global marine logistics company providing solutions by air, land, and sea for more than 50 years, recently assisted with a noteworthy donation towards sponsoring a U.S. Coast Guard Foundation Tribute dinner.

The event, held April 11 at the Margaritaville Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, brought together nearly 600 community members, leaders of maritime and energy industries, and other local supports to honor the dedication and bravery of members of the Coast Guard’s Seventh District.

“We’re thrilled to have sponsored such an important event for this prestigious organization” said Horizon Air Freight Director of Cruise Logistics, Alex Durante. “We will always look for ways to support the brave men and women of the Coast Guard and their families in any way we can.”

In addition to featuring many notable honorees, the evening shined a special spotlight on Coast Guard helicopter crews who conducted two daring rescues during Hurricane Helene as part of a weeklong response that save or assisted 21 people and five pets in Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina. These rescues, carried out during harrowing weather conditions, underscored the Coast Guards unwavering commitment to protecting lives.

Founded in 1969, the Foundation has been a vital partner to the U.S. Coast Guard – tackling the toughest challenging confronting our heroes.
