Description
The Sugar Bear Foundation was formed in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Mario "Sugar Bear" Carazo.
Sugar Bear made the ultimate sacrifice July 22, 2010, when his AH-1W Super Cobra was shot down while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan.
The mission of the foundation is to support the surviving spouses and children of fallen United States military personnel by providing assistance to support programs which meet their immediate and ongoing needs and foster their personal, emotional, and social well-being. We achieve our goals by hosting events that raise funds for such programs.
In doing so, we continue Mario’s legacy of service, share his story and celebrate his life in a way that is impactful upon our fallen military families.
