Lindsay and Aaron Yaffa to Chair Navy SEAL Foundation Midwest Gala
Lindsay and Aaron Yaffa have been named event chairs for the 15th annual Navy SEAL Foundation Midwest Evening of Tribute. The gala, scheduled for September 23, 2026, at the Hilton Chicago, serves as a primary fundraiser to support active-duty Naval Special Warfare personnel, veterans, and their families.

Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, the former National Security Advisor and best-selling author, will headline the event. The evening aims to bolster the Foundation’s four core pillars: community, health, education, and legacy. Proceeds from the gathering directly sustain programs for service members, with 94 cents of every dollar donated going toward support services.
Aaron Yaffa, a partner and Global Co-Head of Commodities at DRW Holdings LLC, joins his wife, Lindsay, in leading the fundraising efforts. Bob Loquercio, a member of the Foundation's board of directors, noted that the couple’s philanthropic track record makes them effective ambassadors for the organization’s mission. The event will feature firsthand accounts from the Naval Special Warfare community and opportunities for attendees to contribute to the Foundation’s ongoing initiatives.
