Our Mission
The Basin Burnout Foundation exists to raise critical funds for veteran organizations, ensuring that the individuals who served our country receive the support, resources, and recognition they deserve. Through the Foundation’s efforts, direct financial impact is provided to nonprofits that are making a difference in the lives of veterans and their families.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the leading community- driven foundation in West Texas, known for uniting people in celebration and service, while ensuring veterans receive the care, respect, and opportunities they have earned.
Our Impact
Basin Burnout is built on the power of community. Every dollar we raise comes directly from the energy, passion, and generosity of the people and organizations that make our annual event possible. From the teams competing in our BBQ Cook-Off, to the businesses sponsoring and exhibiting, to the thousands of attendees who come out each year, every contribution helps us fuel veteran-focused organizations and strengthen their ability to serve.
