About the Event

Far More Than a
Black-Tie Evening

Grey Bull Rescue presents Stars, Stripes & Saving Lives—an immersive fundraiser where purpose replaces pageantry.

Step Inside the Mission

Experience the world of Grey Bull Rescue.

This is an invitation into a world forged through more than 811 life-saving missions in places most people will never see and few would ever choose to enter.

Walk among the vehicles, aircraft, command assets, and rescue equipment Grey Bull Rescue deploys during real-world operations. Hear directly from those who have led missions where failure was never an option—and from the survivors and families forever changed by their rescue.

You will spend the evening alongside military leaders, special operations veterans, government officials, first responders, survivors, Mission Partners, and patriotic supporters.

One truth unites everyone in the room: no American should ever be left behind.
