Learn more about our mission and see highlights from our 2025 South End Hero's Weekend experience.
2nd Annual south end hero's weekend
After an incredible weekend in 2025, we’re proud to bring the South End Hero's Weekend event back in 2026 and make an even greater impact.
Last year, 24 Veterans and First Responders came to LBI for a transformative experience centered around healing, connection, and community. Through surfing, yoga, jiu jitsu, cold therapy, and shared experiences, participants found support, camaraderie, and time to recharge alongside others who understand their journey.
Hero’s Weekend is more than an event, it’s an opportunity to give back to those who dedicate their lives to serving others.
Your donation directly helps provide programming, accommodations, meals, activities, and resources that make this experience possible for our heroes at no cost to them.
Donate today and help us make South End Hero’s Weekend 2026 even more meaningful.
