MSOFC SOF Team Room (affilite event)
The SOF Team Room is a hybrid conversation co-hosted by Global SOF and the Military Special Operations Family Collaborative (MSOFC). A program born of the need for honest conversation following the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Team Room is a dialogue on topics that every service member, veteran, and family will confront.
WHEN: Wednesday, 7 MAY, from 1730 – 1830
WHERE: JW Marriott Hotel – Level 2 – Team Room Theater
The LIVE Team Room at SOF Week will feature in-person, interactive conversations about topics important to the SOF community.
NOORI Documentary Screening
The Global SOF Foundation and Cellebrite invite you to an exclusive fundraiser honoring the unbreakable bond between U.S. and Afghan Special Operations Forces while exploring the deeply personal journey of rebuilding a life after war.
NOORI is a powerful documentary that follows Ahmad Khalid Noori, an Afghan SOF soldier haunted by the ghosts of war, as he searches for peace and belonging in America with help from U.S. SOF veterans before his daughter is born. It’s the story of a journey – one of friends, family, and the future we create for the next generation. It also illuminates the triumph of the human spirit and is a testament to the shared sacrifices of the global SOF community.
This is more than just an event – it’s a call to action. The producers and director self-funded the film, and now they need your help to bring it to the big screen. During our fundraiser, you’ll be the first to see the trailer and connect with the cast/crew. Most importantly, you’ll be able to bid on incredible auction items and/or make a tax-deductible donation to ensure that NOORI gets the funding it needs to reach the world.
Join us for an evening of camaraderie, purpose, and impact. Bring the fun, and the funds!
