Here's a quick recap of our 2nd annual Ellington Field base party from a few weeks back. Once again, a heartfelt thank you to the brave men and women of the 1/23 Lone Star Battalion for your service and self-sacrifice, and to our incredible vendors and A-Team volunteers. We will be sharing more content from the event in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Another year, another successful family day party at Ellington Field! We'd like to thank the brave men and women of the 1/23 Marines for their self sacrifice- it's the reason we do what we do. Additionally, we couldn't have pulled the day off without our incredible volunteers and vendors, especially with the unfortunate weather. Special shout out LtCol Renfro, SgtMaj Sanchez, and GySgt Laskowski for their help on the admin side. Like we always say, this is truly one of the best days of the year for us. We are so blessed, and are already counting down the days until next year.

We checked in with the second of our three scholarship students at De La Salle Collegiate, Cam Graus. Cam has been firing on all cylinders: Academically, he breezed through last semester's finals. Athletically, he's fully recovered from an injury sustained during football season, and is gearing up for baseball to start. For extracurriculars, he has been serving as a student ambassador, familiarizing prospective Pilots with De La Salle. Cam is a perfect example of the well-rounded young leader we strive to help cultivate. Keep it up!

Thanks, Scott Struck! To any new followers, welcome! Scott put it perfectly- we share updates here in an attempt to inspire and amplify our impact, not for recognition. Our commitment to spreading joy stems from a belief of always doing the right thing and blessing others who deserve it.

Happy New Year! May God bless you and yours in 2025.

We were incredibly blessed in 2024, which enabled us to spread joy to a record number of deserving individuals. To our donors and volunteers- we can't thank you enough. You make it possible for us to carry out our mission each day. We are thrilled to see what we will be able to accomplish next year. Have a safe and blessed New Year!

Merry Christmas! The Savior is Born!

We were back at Piquette Square yesterday bringing a Christmas meal to the veterans residing there. As always, it's one of the most uplifting days of the year for us. See you in 2025!

We give thanks for being able to give! We wish you a safe, blessed, and happy Thanksgiving.

We had the honor of serving the unhoused veterans of Piquette Square a Thanksgiving feast yesterday. We're forever grateful for their service to us and our great nation, keeping us safe at home and abroad. Happy Thanksgiving!
