Bay Frog Open Dinner and Auction

The Bay Frog Open weekend begins with an unforgettable evening of great food, meaningful connection, and mission-driven impact. The dinner and auction brings together supporters, special guests, veterans, community leaders, and friends of the foundation to kick off the event in a way that is both celebratory and purposeful.

 

Guests can expect an energetic and welcoming night featuring dinner, live music, a patriotic program, exciting auction items, and the signature Frog-X parachute jump that makes Bay Frog Open unlike any other event. It is a chance to gather, celebrate, and be part of something bigger than a single night.

That support helps make a real difference. In 2025, proceeds from the Bay Frog Open helped fund a $29,000 gift to the Erie DAV/VA, closing the gap on funding for a new wheelchair-accessible van to transport veterans to the care they’ve earned. Through Uncommon Grit SEAL Foundation, events like this also help support military, veterans, first responders, and their families through direct assistance, trusted partnerships, and meaningful support.

Many of our sponsorship packages include access to the dinner and auction, along with additional event benefits. Explore our sponsorship opportunities or golf foursomes to get involved. We also offer tickets to the dinner and auction only for non-golfers who want to join. You can access those tickets through both the golf foursomes and sponsorship pages.
