Lighthouse Ambassadors
Our Story
Lighthouse Ambassadors, formerly hosting events as Heroes of the Sea, established a nonprofit to support those in need, including both members of the Coast Guard and our communities in which they serve. Jim Linkous started an event in 2017 to honor the memory of a friend who lost his life during a tragic plane crash. STACK Infrastructure, transformed this need into an impactful event, ultimately creating an endowment to provide support for years to come. Through their combined efforts, a lasting legacy will continue to make a difference in the lives of many who bravely risk their lives daily.
