The Gathering

A Regiment forged in 1952. A legacy still being written.

The 75th anniversary marks 75 years since the activation of the first Special Forces unit. In June 2027, the Green Beret Foundation will gather the Regiment, its families, and its supporters at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs for a weekend of remembrance and celebration, anchored by a Golf Tournament and a black-tie Regimental Ball. The 75th Anniversary Campaign carries that legacy forward by establishing The Originals Fund for 10th Group, an enduring fund that ensures every Green Beret in the Regiment’s first group has access to the full suite of GBF programs, in perpetuity.

The Fund

Establishing The Originals Fund for 10th Group

The centerpiece of the 75th Anniversary Campaign. A dedicated, enduring fund that provides every Green Beret in the Regiment's first group with access to the full breadth of GBF programs. Designed to grow. Designed to last.

An enduring fund. Built to last in perpetuity.

Every dollar raised establishes a permanent endowment for 10th Group — ensuring access to GBF programs for every generation that follows.

What The Fund Supports

Five Areas. One Mission. Every Generation of 10th Group.

Veterans Benefits Program

VA-accredited claims and appeals advocacy ensuring every 10th Group veteran receives the benefits they earned.

SOF Brain Health Initiative

Concierge TBI care and expedited access to world-class treatment in partnership with Home Base at Mass General.

Education & Family Support

Scholarships, dependent education support, and family programming for 10th Group families navigating sustained Special Forces service.

Financial Stability Programs

Emergency financial assistance and long-term financial wellness resources for 10th Group soldiers and veterans facing crisis or transition.

Plus every GBF program that comes next.

The first of the Regiment.

Activated in 1952, the 10th Special Forces Group was the first of its kind, the unit from which the entire Regiment grew. Three quarters of a century later, the standard they set still defines what it means to wear the green beret.

The first to wear the green beret. The standard every Green Beret has carried since.
