Military Line
We provide free training, education and information to the U.S. Military through BBB Military Line under an MOU with the Department of Defense. With several installations including Aberdeen Proving Ground, Ft. Detrick, Ft. George G. Meade and the U.S. Naval Academy all within our service area, the need for our training and information is critical, so that these troops can focus on their mission.
Wounded Warrior Charity Golf
To support our injured service members, BBB will host its first annual golf tournament on May 4, 2012 at Aberdeen Proving Ground. All proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
Charity Review
Many people have reported trouble finding information to help them evaluate a charity. In addition to financial activity, BBB Educational Foundation bases charity evaluations on board oversight, honesty and integrity in donor solicitations and a commitment to privacy.
