Forward 15

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!
