🚨 HELP US HELP SOME AMAZING KIDS! 🚨

For 44 years, the Ben Richey Chili Super Bowl has raised critical funds for the incredible children of Ben Richey Boys Ranch. This year, a team of dedicated Dyess Airmen is once again stepping up to serve...but we need your help!

🇺🇸 Over Labor Day Weekend, these Airmen will give up their entire 4-day weekend to support this event. They don't just volunteer for a few hours—they work around the clock. They help set up, sell tickets, assist wherever needed, and even make the chili itself, stirring giant pots throughout the night until Saturday morning.

To make this possible, we desperately need either:

🚐 One large 5th-wheel RV that can comfortably sleep 8 adults, OR

🚐🚐 Two smaller RVs that together can accommodate our volunteer team.

We need the RV(s) set up at the Buffalo Gap Swap Meet grounds on Thursday, September 3rd, and picked up Monday, September 7th.

Your RV will be supervised by Dyess We Care Team Director and 2024 CNN Hero, MSgt (Ret) Gordon Storey, and our volunteers will treat it as if it were their own. It will be in excellent hands.

As a small token of our gratitude, we'll load you up with Dyess We Care Team swag—including T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and even one of our coveted DWCT Challenge Coins! 🎖️

Most importantly, you'll be helping a team of selfless Airmen continue a tradition that directly benefits children who need our support.

🙏 Please share this post far and wide. Someone out there may have the RV that can make all the difference.

If you can help—or know someone who can—please send us a message today!

Nothing like a visual aid! 😍

So, would you buy one?

THE SHIRT! NOT THE AIRMAN! 🤪💪

🔥🌶️ HELP US DECIDE! 🌶️🔥

We're getting ready to roll out some awesome new 44th Annual Ben Richey Chili Super Bowl merchandise, and we need YOUR opinion! 👇

👍 BLACK & WHITE LOGO
❤️ FULL COLOR LOGO

Please vote by reacting to the photo you prefer and leave a comment telling us WHY! We'd love to hear your thoughts! 🗳️💬

A few things to consider:

⚫⚪ Black & White Design

✅ Lower cost
✅ Classic look
✅ Lighter and cooler to wear
✅ Easier to print on shirts, aprons, and other merchandise

🎨 Full Color Design

✅ Eye-catching and vibrant
✅ Really makes the artwork pop

❗ Would require us to add approximately $5 💸💸 per item due to the increased printing cost of a 4-color design.

❗ If you've never worn a shirt with a large full-color print, keep in mind that multiple layers of ink can make the design feel heavier and warmer—especially when worn in direct West Texas sunshine! ☀️🥵

So what do YOU prefer? 🤔
👍 = Black & White
❤️ = Full Color

Be sure to COMMENT and tell us why! We may even use your feedback when making our final decision! 🎉

🌶️🏆 44TH ANNUAL BEN RICHEY CHILI SUPER BOWL 🏆🌶️

📅 September 5-6, 2026
📍 Buffalo Gap Swap Meet Grounds
🎟️ Chili tasting, vendors, entertainment, great food, and some of the best chili cooks in Texas!

Most importantly, every bowl of chili helps support the amazing youth served by Ben Richey Boys Ranch and Family Program. ❤️

Both the Dyess We Care Team AND the Chili Bowl use Your Ideas for all their screen printing!

Tag your friends, cast your vote, and we'll see you at the Chili Super Bowl! 🌶️🐂📸

🇺🇸 ONE LAST PUSH FOR A MARINE VETERAN 🇺🇸
For the past two project days, volunteers from the Dyess We Care Team have been working tirelessly to restore the home of a disabled Marine Corps veteran and amputee.

Now we need YOUR help to finish the job.

📅 SATURDAY, JUNE 6

This veteran sacrificed for our country and paid a price that most of us will never fully understand. While many heroes return home to continue serving their families and communities, physical disabilities can make even basic home maintenance impossible.
That's where we come in.

We're entering our THIRD and hopefully FINAL project day, but we need additional volunteers to help us cross the finish line.
🎨 Painters Needed
🔨 Handy Men & Women Needed
💡 Install Solar Lights
🏠 Hang Shutters
❤️ General Volunteers Welcome

No experience? No problem. We can find a job for anyone willing to help.

Imagine what it feels like to be a disabled veteran watching your home transformed by complete strangers who simply care.

That's the kind of magic our volunteers create every month.
Let's show this Marine that the community he served has not forgotten him.

Please consider donating a few hours of your Saturday to help us complete this life-changing project.

👉 Volunteer Here:
https://mailchi.mp/6ece3dfdcf78/finish-the-marine-veterans-house?e=[UNIQID]

A few hours of your time can make a lasting difference in the life of someone who sacrificed so much for ours.

🇺🇸 Because freedom isn't free... and neither is maintaining a home when you're living with a disability.
