Sometimes I think we get so caught up in what’s next that we forget to look back at how far we’ve come. ❤️🇺🇸

Four years ago, Rally for the Brave was just a fundraiser inside our barbershop.

We had no idea what it would turn into.

2023 — $15,400
2024 — $28,300
2025 — $50,000

And now here we are, preparing for year FOUR with a goal of $100,000.

I don’t share these numbers to brag. I share them because every single dollar represents someone who believed in what we were doing. Someone who showed up. Someone who chose to give back.

What started with a few barbers has grown into something so much bigger than any of us.

And somewhere along the way, Rally for the Brave became one of the things I’m most proud to be part of.

It hasn’t always been easy. There have been long nights, stressful days, sacrifices, and plenty of moments where I’ve wondered how in the world we’re going to pull it all off.

But then I remember WHY we do it.

For the men and women who sacrificed so much so we could have the lives we do.

For the veterans who deserve to know they haven’t been forgotten.

For the first responders who continue showing up for our communities.

And for the reminder that when good people come together for something bigger than themselves, incredible things can happen.

We’re less than a month away from Rally for the Brave 2026.

And I cannot wait to see what this community does next.

We remember. We honor. We give back. 🇺🇸

Apparently I have a thing for blue. 💙
And honestly, I’m not mad about it.

From moody and dramatic to soft and serene, blue is one of those colors that always finds a way to feel timeless.

🇺🇸 HERO SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT | HEALEY PLUMBING

Sometimes supporting a cause isn’t just about believing in the mission—it’s personal.

When we sat down with Healey Plumbing to talk about why they chose to become a Hero Sponsor of Rally for the Brave, so much of their answer came back to one thing:

Gratitude.

Gratitude for the first responders who have been there for them in moments when they needed help.

Gratitude for the men and women in their own family who have served our country.

And gratitude for the people who make the decision every single day to put themselves in harm’s way to protect the rest of us.

Their story is such an important reminder of why Rally for the Brave has never just been about veterans or first responders individually—it’s about community standing behind the people who have spent their lives standing up for us.

That’s exactly what Healey Plumbing is choosing to do.

We are incredibly grateful to have them standing beside us as a 2026 Rally for the Brave Hero Sponsor and helping us chase our $100,000 goal. 🇺🇸

To the entire Healey Plumbing family—thank you for believing in this mission and choosing to Rally with us.

And as we continue introducing you to the businesses making Rally for the Brave possible, we hope you’ll remember to support the businesses that choose to support our veterans, our first responders, and our community.

ONE COMMUNITY. ONE MISSION.

WE REMEMBER.
WE HONOR.
WE GIVE BACK. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 HERO SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT | DIAMONDBACK MANUFACTURING

Some businesses put their name on an event. Others choose to truly get behind the mission.

Diamondback Manufacturing has done exactly that.

This year, they stepped up as a 2026 Rally for the Brave Hero Sponsor, purchased a table for our sold-out Dinner Show, AND generously donated the utility trailer you’ve already seen us raffling off.

But what means the most to us is the why behind their support.

We had the opportunity to sit down with the team at Diamondback, learn more about who they are, and hear why supporting our veterans and Rally for the Brave matters to them.

Rally for the Brave simply wouldn’t be what it is without local businesses willing to step forward and use what they have to make a difference.

So when you see us highlighting the businesses supporting RFTB, we hope you’ll remember them when you have the opportunity to support local, too.

Diamondback Manufacturing — thank you for going ALL IN with us this year. Thank you for believing in this mission, supporting our veterans, and helping us chase that $100,000 goal. 🇺🇸

One community. One mission.

WE REMEMBER.
WE HONOR.
WE GIVE BACK. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 HERO SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 🇺🇸

We’re incredibly proud to introduce one of our 2026 Rally for the Brave Hero Sponsors — Badass Outdoor Gear.

Our Hero Sponsors aren’t just putting their name on an event. They’re choosing to stand behind the mission, support our veterans, and help us chase our biggest goal yet — $100,000.

We had the chance to sit down with Badass Outdoor Gear and hear a little more about who they are and, more importantly, WHY they chose to be part of Rally for the Brave.

And that “why” is exactly why we wanted to start sharing these stories.

Businesses like this are a huge part of what makes Rally for the Brave possible. They’re stepping up, giving back, and helping us turn one weekend in November into something that can make a real difference.

To Badass Outdoor Gear — thank you for believing in what we’re doing and for standing alongside us as a 2026 Hero Sponsor. 🇺🇸

And when you see the businesses supporting Rally for the Brave, we hope you’ll support the businesses that support our veterans, too.

$100,000.
One community.
One mission.

WE REMEMBER.
WE HONOR.
WE GIVE BACK. 🇺🇸

Fall is the season of layers, and we’re taking that very seriously.

Layers of blankets. Layers of texture. Layers of pillows.

So go ahead and add the extra pillows you’ve been wanting. Tell your husband it’s for fall 🤭🍁
