The return of VS-32 to its home at NAS Jacksonville, Florida, on 25 February had special meaning for Christina Brown, a fourteen-year-old girl who is battling neurofibromatosis, a neurological disorder. During its six-month deployment at sea, VS-32, nicknamed the Maulers, raised money for Dreams Come True, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of children with life-threatening illnesses with a fundraiser called the OK Pass Project. For every carrier landing graded as "OK Pass," $1 was donated to Dreams Come True. For every "No Grade" landing that is, below average but safe $2 was donated. The Maulers raised about $1,000. The money was used to send Brown and her family on a Disney cruise.
