In attendance were industry representatives, members of Congress and their staffs and a broad section of the USCG Flags and other Coast Guard

The organization,Association for Rescue at Sea (www.afras.org) recognizes heroism in the maritime community as well as raises money for voluntary coast guards worldwide. This year we donated in excess of $50,000 to organizations in the Caribbean Basin, Tanzania and to the volunteer Coast Guard organizations involved in the Mediterranean/Aegean crisis.
Does your organization foster the spirit of giving back the the community/country? And if it does, what do you do for your employees and/or those organizations?
