Supporting Our Heroes

Once again, the third annual Cast + Blast event took place at beautiful Lake Oconee. This unforgettable three-day celebration of service, gratitude, and outdoor camaraderie was held exclusively for wounded veterans. With a shared commitment to honoring those who have dedicated their lives to safeguarding our nation, Georgia SCI and Glasslined Technologies partnered to provide these veterans with a private experience that blended exhilarating outdoor activities with genuine fellowship, all with the mission of fostering healing and tranquility.

This year, we were especially grateful for the support and partnership of the Lake Oconee Elks Lodge #2849, whose contributions helped make the event truly exceptional. The 2025 Cast + Blast created lasting memories for veterans and participants alike, and it was a wonderful turnout, thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring our heroes.

Georgia Safari Club International, Glasslined Technologies, Inc., and Lake Oconee Elks Lodge #2849 extend heartfelt thanks to all who contributed and participated in making this Cast + Blast experience as memorable and meaningful as possible.
