Hero's Encore

10/18/2026

Ever heard a song that said exactly what you couldn’t?

Our Heroes are learning to create that for themselves. Songs about love, memories, and what matters most to them—with others listening and creating alongside them.

Your support helps Veterans and First Responders find those opportunities through Hero’s Encore.

Sometimes other people see it in you before you see it in yourself.

These are some of the people who help our Heroes discover what they’re capable of.

Just returning the favor.

“Sometimes you don’t know what you needed until you find your people.”

Learning music together gives our Heroes time to talk, create, and get to know each other. The connections grow alongside the songs.

Your gift helps make that possible for Veterans and First Responders.

Anchors Aweigh —
Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Navy!

Since 1775, generations of Sailors have answered the call to serve — at sea, in the air, beneath the surface, and around the world.

Today, we celebrate those serving now, those who served before them, and the Navy Veterans who continue to strengthen our communities long after the uniform comes off.

To the Sailors and Navy Veterans in the Hero’s Encore family, we’re proud to have you among us.

Happy Birthday, Navy. Anchors Aweigh!

Thank you to the 50 Mile March Foundation for supporting Hero’s Encore’s Peer to Performer program.

This grant funding supports structured music instruction, songwriting, and performance opportunities for Veterans, Transitioning Service Members, and First Responders.

Through Peer to Performer, Hero’s Encore helps participants build skills, strengthen connections, and bring their talents into the community. We are grateful for the Foundation’s investment in this work.

Connection → Creation → Contribution.

It’s Hug a Bassist Day, and Kevin Dunn brings the style, the funk, and the pride.

Kevin credits his instructor, David Mike, with helping him grow as a musician. Now he’s paying it forward as a bass instructor, helping the next Hero find their groove.

That’s Peer to Performer coming full circle.

To all our bassists: today’s for you. Give your favorite bassist a shout-out in the comments.

If you had a chance to write your song, what would you write about?

Someone you love? A memory you keep coming back to? Something you’ve never known how to say?

Our Heroes are finding their answers—and learning to put them to music, together.

Your support makes that possible. Help us reach $10,000 by GivingTuesday, December 1:
