Our Story
Heroes of the Sea was established to support those in need, including members of the Coast Guard and our communities in the Pacific Northwest. Jim Linkous started the Heroes of the Sea event in 2017 to honor the memory of a friend who lost his life during a tragic plane crash. Driven by a vision, Jim, with the support of STACK Infrastructure, transformed this need into an impactful event, ultimately creating an endowment to provide support for years to come. Through their combined efforts, a lasting legacy will continue to make a difference in the lives of many who bravely risk their lives daily.
