Unified C.A.R.E. is a collaborative military/civilian program introduced by Project C.A.R.E., the United States Navy 

public-private effort to improve the physical appearance and psychological health of wounded Service members, 

advance research and provide continuity of care to wounded warriors and their families. 

Since 2010, the Foundation is participating in the new model military rehabilitation program focused on 

comprehensive recovery that has the potential to accelerate treatment while advancing care available to the 

wounded soldier. The Foundation’s 2012 War Injuries Initiative is analogous to and dovetails with goals that increase 

the quality of care, improve access and provide the greatest opportunity to dramatically increase the quality of life 

for injured service members. Unified C.A.R.E. was created by Dr. Salt as an extension of Naval Medical Center San 

Diego's Comprehensive Combat and Complex Casualty Care (C5) recovery program. 

Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) is one of the nation’s premier Military Medical Centers. A leader in the 

medical field, the hospital is also a major teaching and research center operating under the command of Rear 

Admiral C. Forrest Faison III. As Navy medicine's most active teaching hospital it conducts graduate medical 

education programs.

TO THE GENE VANCE JR FOUNDATION 

DRAFT SAMPLE LETTER REQUIRED BY U.S.NAVY 

LETTERHEAD OF SPONSOR 

I wanted to respond to your request for written notification regarding our (breakfast/ break/lunch/ dinner) 

sponsorship at the upcoming Symposium. 

I committed that (company name) would sponsor (meal) at (name of restaurant, if off-site, or name of hotel, if 

planning to use on-site facilities) on (date). 

The estimated group size provided was approximately (# people). An overage of up to # is acceptable. We 

have budgeted $----- per person to attend the (dinner.) 

No cost to the Gene Vance Jr Foundation or the U.S.Navy is expected to host this event. Transportation to and 

from the venue will be the responsibility of each participant. 

You asked if this was similar to activities we have sponsored at other medical conferences and meetings. 

Hosting dinners and speakers at conferences is a common practice for (company name) when the topic subject 

matters are related to our business. Since ( SUBJECT goes here ) is one of our most significant 

applications we address, sponsoring this meal is certainly within our corporate guidelines. 

(Company name) would like to be allowed to join the conference/meal to ensure the group receives quality 

service. I would estimate up to (# of people) (company name) associates in attendance which would be 

incremental to our sponsorship commitment. 

Please let me know if you need any additional information to satisfy US Dept of the Navy legal affairs 

requirements.
