SLNT is Honored to Support the Talons Reach Foundation
In Jackson, Wyoming, something powerful happened this fall. The Talons Reach Foundation brought together veterans, active service members, and the Jackson community for a night of connection, remembrance, and renewal. The occasion, the 4th Annual Eagles Gala, was more than an event. It was a celebration of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of the Special Operations community.
Every conversation, every shared story, and every raised paddle reflected the strength of a community committed to lifting one another up. The Gala wasn’t just about fundraising. It was about restoring hope and creating the kind of connection that carries far beyond the room.
The Eagles Gala serves as an annual fundraiser for the Talons Reach Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to supporting members of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) who have been morally, mentally, or physically wounded through their service. Founded by veterans who understand the unique challenges faced after years of high-intensity operations, Talons Reach provides a path to healing that goes beyond traditional support systems.
Funds raised from the event directly power the foundation’s Eagle Regeneration Program and other evidence-based initiatives that focus on restoring mental health, strengthening community, and helping SOF veterans transition back into civilian life. These programs emphasize mindfulness, connection, and holistic healing, providing veterans with the tools and community they need to rebuild trust, rediscover their purpose, and reconnect with themselves and their families.
“For me, it’s simple. Supporting TRF and the men and women who serve, whether that means providing RF shielding protection on the battlefield or helping them find peace of mind off it, means everything. Their strength and sacrifice drive us to keep creating gear that protects and empowers them in every part of life.”
— Aaron Zar, CEO, SLNT®
To make the night even more meaningful, every guest received a SLNT Faraday bag, transforming the Gala into a phone-free experience. In a world where attention is constantly divided, that silence allowed space for presence, real conversations, genuine eye contact, and moments that couldn’t be interrupted by a screen. Aligning perfectly with our mission to empower humanity to reclaim their right to disconnect.
Talons Reach Foundation (TRF) exists to serve Special Operations Forces who have been morally, mentally, or physically wounded through their service. Their evidence-based programs focus on healing the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, through connection, mindfulness, and community.
For SLNT, being part of this night meant more than providing product. It meant protecting something intangible — the ability to be fully present — and supporting the Special Operations community both on and off the battlefield. By silencing the digital noise, we helped create the kind of space where true connection thrives.
We’re proud to stand beside Talons Reach Foundation and the Special Operations community they serve. Their work restores lives, rebuilds hope, and reminds us all that the greatest strength often begins in stillness.
