Happy Independence Day America!

06/28/2026

We're full of gratitude right now. Yesterday's wild game BBQ and silent auction fundraiser was an overwhelming success.

Thank you to everyone in the community who came out and supported us! We hope you had as much fun as we did.

A massive thank you to Needle Creek Farm Brewery for hosting, Salt Pepper Garrlic BBQ for cooking up an AMAZING spread, and The Valley Butcher for processing all of the venison and making all the burger patties.

We also want to thank all of the folks who donated items for the silent auction! In no particular order: New York Mets, Beachy Birder Adventures, Boo & Bookmark and Amie Gilroy, Wheelis Forge, Joseph Basralian & Daniele Basralian, Kris Giacobbe Photography, Seasons 52, Brian Kubin, Amazing Escape Room Princeton NJ, Sault Haus spa, Nassau Inn, McCarter Theatre Center, State Theatre New Jersey, Crusader Paintball, Pennington Golf Center, Chickadee Creek Farm, Pino's Gift Basket Shoppe and Wine Cellar.

An extra special thank you goes out to Brian Kubin, who always goes way above and beyond in being generous with his time, equipment, money, and most of all his expertise.

Thank you to all of our participants, all of our mentors and volunteers, and to all of the new friends we made at the event.

As always, if you know a veteran who may be interested in getting out in the deer woods, send them our way!
