BMRA in the Community
Willing Warriors
As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), it is a privilege to give back to those who served and the communities that support them.
BMRA does this through our volunteer efforts with Willing Warriors. Willing Warriors is a 501 (c)(3) charity organization located in Northern Virginia that offers warriors and their families a “home away from home.” They do this with their 37-acre retreat that offers programs and services that allow the wounded warrior and their family to relax and enjoy time together at no cost. Warriors and their families stay for one week and get to enjoy activities, amenities, and exciting programs away from the hospital environment. The retreat is all about being able to heal both emotionally and spiritually while building memories with your family.
Every September, Willing Warriors hosts the Warrior Ride, a charity bike ride event to support wounded warriors. All proceeds of this event go to the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run in Virginia, described above. BMRA employees and their families ride or volunteer at various stops to help refuel and cheer on those that ride.
Every November, around Veterans Day, BMRA staff volunteer at the retreat itself. This volunteer opportunity is about helping make the retreat a welcoming place for the warriors and their families by beautifying the grounds around the homes and sometimes within the homes themselves.

Builders for Babies Diaper Drive
BMRA has also proudly participated in the Builders for Babies Diaper Drive for several years now, which usually runs from late spring to early summer.
Builders for Babies is a community-based donation drive aimed at collecting diapers and wipes for babies and toddlers experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness in the National Capital Region. Since 2018, HomeAid National Capital Region has collected over 1.5 million diapers and wipes, delivering to over 30 local nonprofits. With rising prices and supply issues throughout the country, now the need is greater than ever for these items.
