Operation Patriots FOB is on a mission to serve those who serve us—veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families—through outdoor-based programming that restores purpose, connection, and mental clarity. To help us keep our 268-acre Ridgeland facility and all OPFOB offerings 100% FREE, we’re hosting one of our biggest events of the year: 4th Annual OPFOB Dinner for the Heroes. 

WHY IT MATTERS:

• This event sells out every year, and this year will be the biggest yet
• All proceeds go directly to keeping our 268-acre property and programs completely free to those we serve
• Supports our mission to reduce the devastating rate of veteran and first responder suicides
• OPFOB has welcomed over 36,000 visits in just five years—a clear sign of the critical need for what we provide
• This year, we will honor Vietnam veterans in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, including a special tribute to the veteran nurses who served with courage and compassion

This year, we are proud to announce that we have TWO legendary guest speakers! This unforgettable evening will be elevated by the presence of two extraordinary American heroes who embody service, sacrifice, and perseverance: 

• Rocky Bleier: Vietnam veteran and four-time Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose journey from combat injury to NFL glory is nothing short of inspirational.
  
• Admiral John “Boomer” Stufflebeem: retired admiral, Naval Academy standout, and former NFL player, known for his leadership at the highest levels of the U.S. military and his public role following 9/11.

These two men have led from the front—in uniform and on the field—and their stories will remind us exactly why we do what we do.

This is more than a dinner. It’s a statement. It’s a stand.

And it’s your chance to be part of the most impactful night in the Lowcountry for those who’ve given everything for our safety and freedom. Join us and be a part of our mission!
