You’re surviving on E5 pay, functioning like a single parent, missing milestones, and watching ticket prices make family fun feel impossible.
We were founded to fix that.
Since 2007 we’ve given away nearly 75,000 free event tickets, sent over 50,000 cups of coffee to deployed troops, and now host Bunker Socials every Monday at the VA in Los Angeles — because connection and joy should never be a luxury.
“This is more than a ticket to an event… it’s a ticket to the rest of our life.”

We see every Reddit post, every late-night worry, every “we can’t afford it.”
And we built this entire organization so you never have to say those words again — with Bunker Socials expanding and new venues on the horizon.
We started in 2007 because our founder saw the same pain you’re living right now.
Military spouses posting:
“We can barely survive on E5 pay.”
“I function like a single parent… lonely and exhausting.”
“Missed one too many milestones in my family’s life.”
We knew something had to change.
In February 2008 we became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and got to work — first with tickets to NHRA, NASCAR, MLB, Wrestling, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Academy of Country Music Awards, and intimate unit welcome-home parties in Dallas, California, and Nevada.
Our biggest hit? The Annual NASCAR Tailgate & Race Day at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — hosting up to 3,000 heroes and families for a full weekend and 1,800+ for a single-day tailgate party.
Today we’ve reached military families in California, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nevada, and Louisiana — and we’re growing.
New chapter: In 2025 we launched Bunker Socials every Monday (11am–1pm) at the VA in Los Angeles — pizza, music, games, and real storytelling for veterans who need a safe place to reconnect.
To bring the hearts and minds of our soldiers home — one soldier, one family, one community at a time — by removing every barrier standing between you and the memories and connection you deserve.
Free NASCAR Tailgates at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and nearly 40,000 national event tickets so you can stop saying “tickets are too expensive” and start making “priceless memories with my kids.”
Bunker Socials every Monday at the VA in Los Angeles — pizza, music, games, and storytelling. A weekly lifeline for veterans to laugh, heal, and feel seen. Our goal: expand Bunker Socials to other states and regions across the country.
We never forget the fallen, and we’re actively exploring new venues (concerts and beyond) so more heroes and families get the experiences they deserve.

“Without these tickets I wouldn’t have been able to make the priceless memories I did with my daughter.”
