Past Events

Sailing Through the Winter Solstice, on Carroll Creek

2024-2025 season

We were extremely honored that Thompson Gas lit up Color on the Creek to benefit the Blue-Collar Project with its boat “Mass Ascension”…the boat with the real flames! Thanks to everyone who showed their support by coming out to our Happy Hour launch and those who voted. I can’t express enough our sincere gratitude to the team at Thompson Gas for their support in our mission. We look forward to our continued work together.


Whiskey Tasting

November 2024

We were thrilled to gather with our corporate partners and distinguished guests for an exceptional night of fine dining and whiskey tasting. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, especially our incredible sponsors and partners

This evening wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our partners. Thank you all for your continued generosity and for making this event a memorable success!


Zero Turn Mower Raffle

April 25 – December 29, 2024

A huge thank you to D.W. Ogg Equipment Company for their generous gift of a zero-turn mower and for hosting our LIVE raffle! Congratulations to our winner, Gail Pearson, who kindly donated the $5,000 value back to support our Blue-Collar Project Foundation’s mission to educate and advocate for the next generation of trades.

A big thank you to everyone who supported us by purchasing a ticket and to those who came out to support us yesterday! Your generosity makes a difference!


Pack the Park

June 2024 / Nymeo Field

What a great night spent with fellow Blue-Collar Project supporters. My Brother was able to join in throwing out the first pitch. We were able to meet a lot of new faces who stopped by our table, cheer on our hometown Frederick Keys and wrap up the night with an awesome fireworks display. Nothing more American Blue-Collar than a night of baseball, hot dogs, friends and family.

Thanks to all who came out in support.


Second Annual Blue-Collar Project Golf Classic

May 2024 / Hosted By P.B. Dye Golf Club

In True Blue-Collar Fashion everyone showed up to our sold-out golf classic in spite of some rain. It was a great day of golf, networking, drinks, (lots of drinks, thanks to Scotty’s Vodka and Big Truck Beer) food and fun.

The Morning started with Breakfast, Bloody Mary’s, some coffee and networking. Then we tee-ed off for a great round of golf with lots of contests, games and cocktails. We finished the day back at the club house for a great dinner, awards ceremony, raffles and door prizes.   

A heart felt thank you to all our Sponsors, Donors, Players and Volunteers. With out them this wouldn’t be near as much fun.


Second Annual Dinner And Whiskey Tasting

November 2023 / Hosted by The Red Horse Steakhouse

Back by popular demand, our annual Whiskey Tasting dinner was another sold out success.

We tasted 6 + hard to find and unique whiskeys, paired with a four-course meal. The first pour was served with a welcoming charcuterie and some mingling. Followed by bacon wrapped jalapeno appetizer, a surf & turf dinner and a chocolate cake desert. Each paired with a carefully selected whiskey. Following dinner, we wrapped up the evening with door prizes, raffles and a very interactive auction.

Once again, a sincere thanks to all our sponsors, participants, volunteers and donors. I am continually humbled by their incredible support.
