Thank you to our Air Drop Supporters

Help us show the Troups

We're filling up boxes with 60 pouches of SeaBear Ready-To-Eat Salmon, to send to PJ's and CRO's stationed overseas, as a treat from back home, and to let them know we are thinking about them.

For every pouch you buy to donate, SeaBear will match it 100% by adding another pouch. When the case is filled with 60 pouches we'll ship it off, and start another one for the next Deployed unit!

Buy one pouch to contribute, and we’ll match it with another. Buy 5 pouches, and we'll put in 5 more, and so on—or, buy 30 and its your Air Drop!!!

Buy a case of 30 for $210 and we will send 2 cases to Deployed PJ's and CRO's

*with a case, you get to add a card from you to the order.

can't buy a case, buy as many at $7 a pouch and we well will build up a case.
