Dan Cnossen
We're honored to welcome Dan Cnossen as our keynote speaker — a decorated U.S. Navy SEAL and 7-time Paralympic medalist.
After losing both legs above the knee to an IED while serving in Afghanistan in 2009, Dan channeled his resilience into becoming one of America's most accomplished para athletes.
He's also a surfer, mentor, motivational speaker and passionate advocate for veterans. We couldn't be more honored to have him join us for Tides of Hope.

Our 2026 Cocktail Dinner will be Friday, November 20, 2026.
Tides of Hope brings the community together for a fun evening of drinks, dining, music, and both a live and silent auction — all in support of Warrior Surf Foundation's mission to provide free surf therapy for veterans and their families.
Our 2025 event was intimate, electric, and packed with connections & incredible auction experiences.
This year promises to be even better. We're aiming to raise $300K to fund programs for 60+ veterans, and we're honored to welcome our keynote speaker: Dan Cnossen, decorated Navy SEAL and 7-time Paralympic medalist
