Annual Fundraiser
Join Us! For A Night to Honor and Support Our Veterans
Saturday, March 14, 2026
Briarpatch Farm’s BArn
Doors Open at 5:30 Pm
725 Pea Ridge Road, Eatonton GA 31024
With the generous support of Georgia Safari Club International and Lake Oconee Elks Lodge 2849, this meaningful evening will honor the service and sacrifice of our wounded veterans through dinner, fellowship, raffles, and both silent and live auctions.
More than a night of community, this event directly supports critical veteran outreach efforts, from suicide prevention initiatives to helping veterans with traumatic brain injuries navigate complex VA applications and access the benefits they’ve earned.
Proceeds also fund the annual Cast & Blast experience, a restorative retreat designed to foster connection, healing, and appreciation, while extending ongoing support to veterans across Georgia through programs at the Georgia War Veterans Home and VA hospitals in Augusta and Dublin.
