CHART-TOPPING COUNTRY STAR CRAIG MORGAN
A multi-faceted entertainer, Craig Morgan has made a name for himself as a country music icon, TV personality, author, celebrated outdoorsman and patriotic Army veteran. One of country music's best-loved artists, Morgan has amassed over 2 billion career streams and charted over 25 songs on Billboard, thrilling massive crowds with signature hits including “Bonfire,” “Almost Home,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” “International Harvester,” “This Ole Boy,” “Soldier,” “That's What I Love About Sunday” and his faith-filled tribute to his son Jerry, “The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost.” His God, Family, Country (Deluxe Edition) album features “How You Make A Man,” and was released on Veterans Day 2022, the same day he headlined a sold-out show at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium.

Craig received one of country music's highest honors when he was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Prior to becoming a country music star and TV sensation, Morgan served seventeen years serving our country in the Army and Army Reserve and in 2023 enlisted in the Army Reserve, continuing his military career. Morgan remains an avid supporter of America's military personnel and has made more than sixteen overseas trips to perform for our troops. He is a member of the U.S. Field Artillery Hall of Fame and recipient of the USO Merit Award. In 2018 was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, one of the highest awards the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian, in recognition of his significant dedication to our military men and women around the world. He remains committed to supporting active duty and veteran members of our military through work with Operation Finally Home, the USO and more.

RISING SINGER-SONGWRITER AMANDA STEWART
A talented newcomer who has been making waves in the country music scene with her sophomore album “Venom”, a catchy and empowering anthem about life’s ups and downs. She has been praised by critics and fans alike for her mature and multi-faceted voice, her honest and relatable lyrics, and her modern twist on a nostalgia-entwined genre.

FIRST HUNT FOUNDATION CONNECTING HEROES & HUNTERS
First Hunt Foundation Connecting Heroes & Hunters has tremendous respect and admiration for our national and local heroes. All veterans and first responders understand mission, teamwork and the desire to serve. We work to connect these heroes to a new mission of recruiting new hunters and helping those in their own ranks learn about conservation and hunting. All program activities are 100% free of charge to all participants and the foundation has no paid staff. All fundraised money goes directly to support Veterans and First Responders in the program.

The vision of Connecting Heroes & Hunters is to ensure that veterans and first responders always have an avenue to discover a new collective purpose and unified bond in serving their community. This helps prevent the tragedy of being lost in transition. As well as, the national need to keep our hunting heritage alive today, tomorrow, and forever.

The mission of Connecting Heroes & Hunters is to provide veterans and first responders with a renewed sense of purpose and mission focus through mentorship in hunting, conservation and the love of our natural resources. This skillset is critical to the foundation’s message of preserving our Great American Heritage.

Based in Plains, Montana, the organization is led by a retired Army officer and former first responder, who knows first-hand the importance of helping veterans finding a new mission after leaving service.
