FOR 250 YEARS we’ve gathered together.
This summer, we're inviting communities across the country to gather around what has always brought people together: good food, meaningful conversation, and a shared sense of purpose. BBQ for Bravery is a nationwide summer movement running now through Labor Day, encouraging supporters to host backyard barbecues, cookouts, and gatherings in celebration of 250 years of American freedom. While we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy, we also honor the active-duty Special Operations Forces members and families who continue to defend them today.
Our goal is to raise $13,500, enough to fully fund one recipient's life-changing experience through a Big Sky Bravery program. Whether you're hosting a neighborhood barbecue, gathering with friends and family, or rallying your community, every event helps create restoration, connection, and support for those who remain on the front lines. Fire up the grill, gather your people, and join a movement that turns summer gatherings into lasting impact.
