Speaker Series
Luncheon Event

Join us for an exclusive lunch event featuring Jessica Buchanan!

On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93 days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team VI on January 25, 2012.

General Admission – entry to the main event at noon: $60 per person or $600 for a table of 10

VIP Admission – entry to a one-hour meet and greet with Jessica at 11am and to the main event at 12pm: $100 per person or $1,000 for a table of 10
