B r e w s f o r t h e B r av e STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCAS RYAN CHAMBERS The Green Beret Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting soldiers of the U.S. Army Special Forces and their families, hosted Brews for the Brave. Brews for the Brave is a family friendly event with live music, food trucks, a Kid’s Corner, a silent auction and beer for purchase. 100% of the silent auction proceeds go directly to the Green Beret Foundation. This event was hosted by the Fort Campbell Chapter of the Steel Mags, an elite sisterhood of women established by the Green Beret Foundation, with the goal of addressing the unique and critical needs of qualifying female family members of The United States Army Special Forces soldiers. “These families often times won’t ask for help when help is needed, which is the sole reason we put on these events. We found that being creative and allowing people to have fun and get involved while still raising money for the families of these fallen soldiers makes all the difference,” said Jen Paquette Executive Director of the Green Beret Foundation and founder of GBF’s sorority, the Steel Mags.
