BMRA in the Community explores how we give back to our roots

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

Since 2023, BMRA has proudly partnered with HomeAid National Capital Region to support the annual Builders for Babies Diaper Drive.

Each year, BMRA employees donate diapers, wipes, and financial contributions, with the company matching employee donations dollar-for-dollar. In 2026, Team BMRA’s contributions provided the equivalent of more than 4,000 diapers, helping families throughout Northern Virginia.

The 2026 Builders for Babies campaign ultimately distributed more than 1.29 million diapers and wipes to 52 nonprofit organizations serving families across the Washington, DC-to-Richmond region.
