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: 5th Annual OPFOB Dinner for the Heroes.
WHY IT MATTERS:
The Dinner for the Heroes has become one of the Lowcountry’s premier events honoring those who serve, and with the event selling out every year, this year is expected to be the biggest yet. Proceeds directly support OPFOB’s ability to keep its 268-acre property and programs completely free for veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families. As we approach the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, this year’s event will pay special tribute to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans whose service helped shape a generation. Guests will also hear from keynote speaker Bart Oates, a 3-time Super Bowl Champion and 5-time Pro Bowl center whose distinguished NFL career and continued advocacy for mental health, resilience, and service make him a fitting voice for an evening dedicated to honoring those who have sacrificed for our nation and communities. With more than 50,000 visits to OPFOB in just five years, the need for this mission has never been more evident.
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!
