The Giving Ground Foundation embodies the essence of service.
Founded by three civilians, Nick Africano,

Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12)
Chairman,House Veterans' Affairs
Rory Serafini, and Dale Tobey, these leaders are committed to honoring our heroes.
Giving Ground bridges the gap between service and civilian life, helping veterans reclaim joy and purpose in the great outdoors.
Sponsers &
Partners
Sponsors and partners make the work of The Giving Ground Foundation possible. Although we officially incorporated and received our tax-exempt status in August, our very first event was already a success because individuals, businesses, and community partners chose to believe in our mission from the start. Their support allowed us to welcome veterans into the outdoors, restore camaraderie, and create moments of connection and healing that simply would not have happened otherwise. As we look ahead to our next event, we hope you will join us this time — not just as a sponsor, but as part of a growing community committed to honoring those who have served. Every contribution directly helps remove barriers for veterans, ensuring they can participate at no cost while experiencing the fellowship, purpose, and gratitude they deserve. Your support helps turn appreciation into action and ensures these meaningful experiences continue to grow for years to come.
It was such an honor to be involved with the
Upland Hero Hunt 2025. It's a great charity
and we'll be onboard as long as it continues.
We're all in on anything that creates
healing for our guys.
