Bone Frog Heroes Benefit
2026 Date Coming Soon

We had a great time in Tennessee—live music by Ryan Spencer, Taylor Davis, and the Davisson Brothers Band, and comedy with Chris Porter. Guests mingled with Navy SEALS, special operations veterans, and Rudy Gatlin. Baden K-9 Kares gave us a powerful dog demonstration and also paired a puppy with its new owner, Navy SEAL Jesse Clay. Operation Song wrote a song with Navy SEAL D. McBurnett and performed it for the first time during the benefit. It was truly a magical night. Stay tuned for 2026 event details!
