Bay Frog Open One-Mile Swim

Presque Isle State Park
Erie, Pennsylvania
In the tradition of the Erie Bay Swim that was held from 2008-2017, Uncommon Grit Foundation hosted its third annual Bay Frog Open one-mile open-water swim, which featured some of the region’s finest swimmers. Athletes were accompanied by former Navy SEALs and special operations veterans as we raised money for our nation’s service men and women.
Bay Frog Open Dinner and Golf Outing
July 20-21, 2025
Kahkwa County Club
Erie, Pennsylvania
Guests enjoyed two days of fun and fundraising with Navy SEALs and other VIPs, including special operations veterans and former NHL superstars. Past Bay Frog Open events have included a one-mile open-water swim, hockey game, sporting clays shoot, auction and dinner, and a golf outing. Part of the proceeds stay local to the Western Pennsylvania area in support of veterans and first responders.
Bone Frog Open - Irish Edition

Warren Golf Course
Notre Dame, Indiana
Following a powerful debut in 2024, the Bone Frog Open - Irish Edition returned to the iconic University of Notre Dame for a weekend of honor, inspiration, and camaraderie in support of our nation’s heroes. Sunday evening we enjoyed a high-energy cocktail party and Monday brought a premium golf experience. Part of the proceeds stay local to the Northern Indiana area in support of veterans and first responders.
Bone Frog Heroes Benefit
October 5, 2025
The Moore-Morris History and Culture Center
Franklin, Tennessee
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.
Bone Frog Swamp Shoot

Tenoroc Shooting Range
Lakeland, Florida
We are excited to announce a 2025 sporting clays event—the Bone Frog Swamp Shoot! We’ll be raising money for military and first responders with a fun day of sporting clays, food, auction items, and camaraderie.
