Events

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we honor the generation that answered the call--post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders whose lives and sacrifices were shaped by that day.

Join Operation Patriots FOB for one of the Lowcountry's premier patriotic events, an evening of remembrance, gratitude, and community dedicated to those who continue to serve our nation and communities.

We are honored to welcome Major James Capers, USMC (Ret.), a Vietnam War veteran and recent Medal of Honor recipient, as our special guest, and Bart Oates, three-time Super Bowl Champion and longtime advocate for resilience and mental wellness, as our keynote speaker. Bart’s son was on active duty during the 9/11 attacks and deployed soon afterward, giving him a personal connection to the sacrifices made by military families.

Every dollar raised supports OPFOB's mission to prevent veteran and first responder suicide by restoring purpose, building community, and creating lasting connections. Donations stay local and help keep our 268-acre Lowcountry facility and all programs 100% free for veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families. With more than 58,000 visits in just over six years, the need--and the impact--continues to grow.

More than a fundraiser, Dinner for the Heroes is a tribute to 25 years of service, sacrifice, and resilience. Together, we remember. Together, we honor. Together, we ensure no hero walks alone.
