Brothers-Sisters Of Our Military Adventures aka B.O.O.M. Adventures was started in 2016 to serve and honor our Heroes, Veterans, Active-Duty Military, First Responders, and Gold Star Families. The organization takes pride in supporting all our Service Members who have served honorably, and through our programs we are able to support many Heroes in desperate need. We help those who have served our country and communities that are dealing with persistent struggles and challenges of physical disabilities, PTSD, TBI, Survivors Guilt, and the invisible wounds borne by combat veterans. We accomplish this by building a community of individuals who befriend and support each other as a team. Allies with common experiences, and mutual emotions. The type of understanding that comes with having been there and lived the same experience. B.O.O.M. Adventures brings our Heroes together in the surroundings of the great outdoors. Away from the demands of everyday life. A short period of time when they can relax, spend time hunting, fishing, or on one of our other adventures. Lounge around the campfire at the end of the day comparing stories, enjoying the stars, solitude, and the company of individuals similar to each other in many ways.B.O.O.M. started its service to our Heroes in 2016. Rodney Edwards, better known as “Fuzz,” owned a little ranch near Childress, Texas where the first hunt took place. There were only a handful of participants that first year. This past year B.O.O.M. has hosted over 100 service members on our outdoor adventures, with a working budget of well over $100,000. These trips, guided and mentored by experienced volunteers, are no-cost to the Heroes and include lodging, meals, firearms, ammunition, and processing of the harvested game. We now average 65 hunts a season. Our hunts include White-Tailed Deer, Turkey, Sand Hill Cranes, Pheasant, Quail, Ferrel Hogs, Coyote, and Bobcats or Mountain Lions if available. These hunts can fulfill the dream of a first hunt, family hunt, and in some cases, the last hunt of a lifetime.B.O.O.M. has continued to grow over the years to support the increasing numbers of Veterans and First Responders from across the country. But there is still plenty of work ahead. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), noted in 2023, that PTSD is more common among Veterans than civilians. At some point in their life, 7 out of every 100 Veterans (or 7%) will have PTSD. The VA's National Suicide Prevention Report of 2023, reported in 2021, 6,392 Veterans died by suicide and many veterans struggle to get timely mental health services they need and deserve.As you can imagine the volunteers of B.O.O.M. must raise a lot of money to support our local Heroes who need our services. We continuously pursue grants and have outstanding support with our various fundraisers. The Directors are continuously pursuing ways that we can spend the money entrusted to us by our donors most effectively.The Board of Directors have decided that with our continued growth, and proven staying power, we need to purchase our own land. Venturing into a more stable long-term investment, would be most beneficial for the charity. Typically, land grows in value with every passing year. It would lessen our financial burden of leasing land we cannot develop to support our Hero's long-term needs. Just as couples grow out of renting an apartment and move to the next step of owning a home, we need to invest in the next step ourselves by owning land to develop a sanctuary built just for Heroes.We sincerely hope you will support us as we find ways to better support our Heroes: Disabled Vets, First Responders, Gold Star Families. A donation of $100.00 or more will get your name listed on the Honor Roll that willl be posted in the future main cabin.Thank you in advance for considering lending your support!!Signed:The Volunteers of B.O.O.M.
