FROGMAN CHALLENGE: 3D ARCHERY SHOOT & 5K TRAIL RUN



ABOUT FROGMAN: Frogman was created by The Campbell Family in 2012 to honor the wish of their beloved SOC (SEAL) Christopher Campbell. Chris lost his life during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, in which he and 30 others Americans were riding, was shot down on August 6, 2011. The event honors his final wish to support combat wounded veterans, his love for hunting, especially bow hunting, and the outdoors.

By supporting Frogman, you ensure that Chris wish carries on and that he and his teammates are never forgotten!

Proceeds from the event will benefit Hope for the Warriors and the Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission (JOSC).
