Forward 15
Organized by Veterans Advocacy Foundation
Shaping the next 15 years supporting veterans and military families in business
We’re asking for your help. The Forward 15 Committee has set an ambitious goal to raise $150,000 by the end of 2023 to support the growth of veteran-owned businesses and job creation in our region. Your contribution to this event will make a significant impact on our ability to provide free or affordable support and resources to veteran entrepreneurs and their families.
To continue our fundraising efforts as our 3-year campaign comes to a close, VetBiz presents the 2023 Hops for Heroes Pub Crawl! Come along with your friends for a night out and make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country. Enjoy exclusive drink specials and discounts at the best venues in historic Soulard!
