meet our trusted partners WHO HAVE BECOME FAMILY
- BRAS FOR A CAUSE
Stronger together Bras for a cause is the reason Hearts and Helmets exist. I had been involved with this breast cancer awareness fundraiser for 3 yrs when my wife was diagnosed with cancer. These incredible people involved with this organization have truly become close family as they were there for ours when my wife was diagnosed with cancer and immediately reminded us that we were not alone. It was this love put in action that lit the fire in us to share this feeling of love and hope with others going through their journey, and started Hearts and Helmets. Stronger together lifts up local cancer charities and the people they serve, making a meaningful impact right here at home. Over the past 4 years, they have raised nearly $400,000 for local organizations making a significant impact in our communities. In 2025, Hearts and Helmets was honored to join this distinguished group of beneficiaries. This partnership allows us to collectively touch lives, inspire hope, and fuel the fight against cancer through our shared mission. If you have yet to experience this remarkable event, please join us for 2026 in the FT Worth Stockyards and expanding to Dallas for the first time.

meaningful difference through outdoor activities
They have provided once -in-a-lifetime outdoor experiences through over 100 events each year. Their programs specifically cater to various groups, including purple heart and combat veterans, families facing life-threatening illnesses, special needs children, and underprivileged youth lacking mentorship opportunities. They have positively influenced tens of thousands of individuals who may otherwise not have access to outdoor experiences and we are overwhelmed with gratitude that they have made their facilities available to Hearts and Helmets kids and their families.

MORE THAN A PARTNERSHIP: ROBERT, DAPHNE, AND THE BUMPY PICKLE BEACH FAMILY
From the very beginning, Robert and Daphne, owners of Bumpy Pickle Beach, welcomed us with open arms. What began as a partnership centered around sand volleyball has grown into something far more meaningful, a genuine friendship and a bond that feels like family. For the past 2 years, Bumpy Pickle Beach has proudly partnered with us to host our Smashing Cancer Classic fundraising sand volleyball tournaments, helping us bring the community together for fun, fellowship, and a purpose much greater than the game itself. They believed in our mission, stood behind our organization, and helped us create unforgettable experiences that directly support first responder and healthcare families navigating cancer with a special focus on their children. Their generosity, encouragement, and willingness to help have been present every step of the way. Their support has helped transform our tournaments into more than fundraisers; they have become celebrations of hope, resilience, community, and love. We feel incredibly lucky and deeply grateful to have Robert and Daphne in our corner. They are not only valued partners and dear friends, but they have also become part of the Hearts and Helmets family. If you're looking for a great place to play sand volleyball or summer camps, Bumpy Pickle Beach is the place to be. With a welcoming atmosphere, excellent courts, and a team that truly cares about the community, it's the perfect spot to gather with friends, enjoy some friendly competition, and make lasting memories
