VETERAN SOCIAL

We’re passionate about supporting local businesses!

After each event, we make it a priority to gather with fellow Veterans and volunteers at a nearby local eatery for some food, drinks, and great company.

Make sure to include it in your ticket checkout process as an 'add-on'.

21+ Only - Free for anyone to join!

Are you a business that would like to host our veterans? Reach out to us!

We value the dedication of our military and volunteers, which is why we offer volunteer hours and Letters of Appreciation (for our Active Duty) for every event.

To request your LOA or volunteer hours, simply indicate your preference when getting your ticket.

Our mission is to remove trash from our planet by empowering Veterans to clean our communities. We accomplish our mission by having Veteran operated teams organize cleanups throughout the U.S. In return, we are giving Veterans a chance to recycle their leadership skills and continue our service in a different and equally important way.
