Help make the Gold Star Family Festival an Impactful Success With Your Sponsorship. A Win-Win For All of Us.
"Recently, I spoke to 50 vendors at the future site of our festival during their event. I asked each of them, 'Do you know what a Gold Star Family is?' Only a handful did. At one point I had 17 consecutive vendors answer, 'No.' That’s why we do this. So that the next time someone asks, more people can say, 'Yes. And I honor their sacrifice.'"
— Bobby G., Co-Founder, RGSR Events
Why this Festival Matters
Behind the title of 'Gold Star Family' are mothers, fathers, spouses, siblings, and children whose lives were changed forever by the ultimate sacrifice of their loved ones. While their family members are honored with a folded flag and ceremonial rites, too often their ongoing grief and pride go unnoticed.
The Gold Star Family Festival is our promise that they are never forgotten. It's a vibrant, music-filled gathering designed to honor their fallen loved ones, celebrate their stories, and create a supportive, uplifting community experience. We know that music heals, and this event serves as both a tribute and a sanctuary.
