Abilene, TX – Tigé Boats, an industry leader in luxury surf boats, proudly announces its title sponsorship of the Combat Control Foundation's upcoming fundraising gala, "Top Secret: A Night of Covert Cuisine and Intrigue." The exclusive event will be held in Austin, TX on June 12, 2025, bringing together supporters of U.S. Air Force Combat Controllers and their families.

"At Tigé Boats, we've always been committed to supporting the heroes who protect our nation's freedoms—the very freedoms that allow us to enjoy time on the water with family and friends," said Charlie Pigeon, Founder and CEO of Tigé Boats. "We're honored to partner with the Combat Control Foundation as their Title Sponsor for this year's Top Secret Gala, supporting the elite warriors of the Air Force Special Operations community and their families."

The immersive Air Force Special Operations-themed gala promises an unforgettable evening where guests will have the rare opportunity to engage with elite U.S. Air Force Special Operators while enjoying fine dining, music, dancing, and participating in live and silent auctions.

Event highlights include keynote addresses from decorated Air Force Special Operations personnel Retired Senior Master Sergeant Jake Sevy and Captain Marc Esposito, with retired Chief Master Sergeant Mike Lamonica serving as Master of Ceremonies.

Tigé Boats' sponsorship directly supports the Combat Control Foundation's vital initiatives in resiliency, wellness, education, and heritage. In 2024 alone, CCF provided nearly $400,000 in direct aid to these elite warriors and their families.
