The Virginia Veterans Services Foundation Receives $31,000 Donation from the Frazier-Mason Some Gave All Foundation

The Virginia Veterans Services Foundation (VVSF) is honored to announce a generous $31,000 donation from the Frazier-Mason Some Gave All (SGA) Foundation. This incredible gift reflects the SGA Foundation’s enduring commitment to serving those who have served our country.

Honoring Two Heroes
The Frazier-Mason Some Gave All Foundation was established in 2007 to honor the memory of two fallen heroes:

  • SGT Joshua James Frazier of Spotsylvania
  • SGT Nicholas Conan Mason of King George

These brave servicemembers made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq.

15 Years of Service and Support
Over the past 15 years, the SGA Foundation, with support from the community, has raised more than $571,000 to assist service members wounded, disabled, or in need due to injuries sustained during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Their assistance has included:

  • Physical disabilities
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Educational needs
  • Housing modifications for mobility
  • Transitional housing
  • Debts and arrears
  • Travel and transportation needs
  • Family sustainment essentials
  • Job preparedness
  • Support for local veteran hospitals and facilities

A Legacy of Giving
As the SGA Foundation concluded its remarkable mission, they chose to gift VVSF with a significant portion of their remaining funds. This decision reflects their confidence in VVSF’s ability to carry forward their mission of service.

SGA President Vic Frazier shared:

“DVS is always committed to what is best to help veterans. It is clear that the people who work at DVS are top notch and genuine at heart.”

Heartfelt Gratitude
We extend our deepest gratitude to Vic Frazier and the entire Frazier-Mason family, including:

  • Jana Frazier
  • Christine Mason
  • Carly Mason
  • Charles Mason

Your unwavering support has made a lasting impact on the lives of countless veterans and their families.

Moving Forward Together
With this generous contribution, VVSF will continue to expand our efforts to provide critical resources and support to Virginia’s veteran community. Together, we honor the legacy of SGT Frazier and SGT Mason and reaffirm our commitment to those who have given so much for our freedom.

Thank You, Frazier-Mason Some Gave All Foundation!
