Project Hero

Goal: $20,000

We are honored and proud to be a charity partner of the 2025 Bourbon Burn! 

 

Hundreds of thousands of veterans and first responders suffer from various wounds, visible or hidden. Project Hero works to help these healing heroes recover and once again find hope and purpose. All funds raised allow us to continue offering our life-saving veteran and first responder rehabilitation programs.

 

We aim to hit $20,000 by the end of 2025 Bourbon Burn. This would allow us to bring wounded veterans and/or first responders to various local and national programs where they can receive the rehabilitation cycling therapy they need.
From building and donating adaptive bikes and producing cycling events throughout the nation to supporting community-based rehabilitation and recovery programs and important medical and clinical research, Project Hero is raising awareness of the national PTSD mental health crisis and making a difference in the lives of thousands of our healing heroes as well as their families and communities.

 


Since 2008 with the help of Project Hero’s incredible supporters:
We have helped more than 10,000 healing heroes through cycling-based programs 
Built more than 200 adaptive bikes 
Donated more than 2,500 bikes to veterans and first responders
Complete more than 1 million therapeutic rehabilitation cycling miles
Participants record elimination of and decreases in use of prescription drugs of as much as 65%
Greater injury recovery rates
Improved sleep habits 
Overall improvement in daily life functions
Operate 50+ Project Hero local HUB locations across the nation


Each of these have helped Project Hero bring hope, recovery, and resilience to the everyday lives of America’s Healing Heroes. 


Donations of $20 or more will receive a special addition Bourbon Burn - Project Hero Kleen Kanteen steel sipping cup.
$50 or more gets you a pair of Kleen Kanteen steel sipping cups.
$250 or more you earn a 2025 Bourbon Burn Jersey plus a pair of sipping cups.  
 *All items will be available to pick up at the Project Hero booth at the Bourbon Burn*


All fundraising dollars raised through the Bourbon Burn support Project Hero's veteran & first responder rehabilitation programs and local HUB locations. Project Hero recovery programs are available to wounded veterans and first responders and have proven results in improving the mental and physical health and wellness of our healing heroes.
