Forward 15

Shaping the next 15 years supporting veterans and military families in business


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!

Your donation of $25 or more will entitle you to a ticket to the event, which includes:

  • Free admission to 4 Historic Soulard Venues
  • A Hops for Heroes T-Shirt Hangover kit and Swag Bag
  • Detailed custom map for easy hopping
  • Up to 50% off exclusive drink specials
  • Up to 20% off select food specials
  • Live music, bands, and DJs at select venues
  • Photographer to capture the best moments

  • Special pricing for local hotels (deadline June 1st)
  • Fun activities at each stop along the way
  • Stacked raffle baskets you don’t want to miss

All donations are greatly appreciated, and all proceeds from this event will go toward supporting veteran and military spouse small business owners.
