CORONADO, CA — In a celebration of both four-legged friends and the vibrant company culture that defines R3 Strategic Support Group, President and CEO Mark Sanders joined R3 teammates recently for a tail-wagging event, aptly named “R3 Dog Day.” This delightful occasion saw the workplace buzzing with excitement and furry companions adding a touch of charm to the office atmosphere.

Human Resources Manager, Keanna Spencer, expressed her enthusiasm about the event, saying, “I’m incredibly honored to work for such an amazing organization that values its employees and company culture.”

The success of “R3 Dog Day” underscores the company’s dedication to promoting a work culture that prioritizes employee happiness, well-being, and inclusivity. The initiative not only celebrated the unique relationships employees share with their pets but also highlighted R3’s ongoing efforts to nurture a positive and engaging workplace atmosphere.

R3 is a proud “senior blaster” sponsor of the 4th Annual Cycling Event coming up this Veterans Day Weekend, November 10th and 11th, benefitting the EOD Warrior Foundation. This year’s “Rampart Ride 2023” will take place along various road or gravel routes through the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail located in the beautiful rolling hills of San Miguel just east of Paso Robles wine country. This year’s theme is, “Celebrating Those Who Serve.” Registration is now open for the Rampart Ride–early bird registration discount ends on September 4th.

Friends, families and those who wish to be part of the fun and excitement but are NOT planning to ride are welcome. Guest tickets can be purchased on the Tackitt Family Vineyards website here.

Proceeds benefit the EOD Warrior Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization serving the EOD community by providing financial assistance, scholarships, maintaining the EOD Memorial and Remembrance Garden, and providing hope and wellness resources for the Active-Duty, Reserve, National Guard, Retired, and Veteran EOD community and their families and honoring our fallen and wounded heroes.

R3 is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of two highly anticipated events organized by the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Association (NEODA): The 2nd Annual Commodore’s Cup and the Tidewater Chapter’s 8th Annual Golf Tournaments, both taking place on May 26, 2023.

The Commodore’s Cup promises to be an exhilarating competition open to EODGRU1 staff, subordinate commands, retired Navy EOD, family, and guests. The golf tournament, held on the Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego, serves as a platform to foster camaraderie and promote excellence within the Navy EOD community.

Simultaneously, the Tidewater Chapter’s 8th Annual Golf Tournament will tee off on the east coast, at the NAS Oceana Hornet Course, allowing participants to enjoy a day of friendly competition while supporting a worthy cause. Open to NECC, EODGRU2 staff, subordinate commands, retired Navy EOD personnel, as well as their families and invited guests, this golf tournament provides an opportunity for attendees to connect, network, and raise funds for charitable initiatives supported by the NEODA.

As a proud sponsor of these esteemed events, R3 recognizes the importance of honoring and supporting the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal community. Through this partnership, R3 aims to express its gratitude for the dedication, bravery, and selflessness displayed by the men and women who serve in the EOD field. R3’s commitment to technological innovation aligns seamlessly with the NEODA’s mission to enhance the capabilities and safety of EOD professionals.
