Fisher House Founders Day BBQ

On September 16, 2022 we celebrated Fisher House founder, Zachary Fisher on the BAMC Fisher House grounds. We had many supporters and volunteers who made this event a huge success. The Young Farmers from Gonzales brought 5 huge smokers and cooked all night to prepare the brisket and sausage to feed all the people that attended, and the reviews were outstanding! A total of 1700 lbs of brisket, 700 lbs of sausage and 140 gallons of beans were prepared by this wonderful group. “This was the best brisket I ever tasted” said one of the BAMC hospital employees. 

With the support of H-E-B and Wounded Warrior Project, Fisher House, Inc. was able to host this amazing event. Volunteers from USAA, H-E-B, Broadway Bank, American Legion and Costco served all this delicious food. Live music from The SA Hitlist kept the party going all day. This was definitely a day to remember, the program also included a volunteer award presentation (see page 7) and the San Antonio Defense Gang presented Fisher House, Inc. with a check for $77,710.00. Former Kono-101 host, Dave Rios was there to emcee the event, while more volunteers from the 4-H club and NuStar Energy helped with the event. A special thank you to BAMC facilities and volunteers!!
