2005

Jeff Nix purchases season basketball tickets to the U.S. Air Force Academy to support Jeff Bzdelik, his friend and head coach, and donates them to the kids at Fort Carson.

2006

Jeff and his business partner, Ray Stults, decide to do more for the kids at Fort Carson and hold a fundraising event for The Home Front Cares^TM to purchase tickets to Air Force football and basketball games.

In what proves to be an atypical backyard summer BBQ, a coaching roster including Jeff Bzdelik, Tom Izzo, Kelvin Sampson, Digger Phelps, Skip Prosser, Tom Crean and Mike Brey help to raise enough money to send more than 1,000 kids to Air Force athletic events.

2007

The mission grows to include the children of Fort Carson, Fort Bragg and Fort Benning, as well as the Indiana National Guard and Indiana Marine Corps. Ten major colleges and athletic departments join in. The Camo Kids cause is born.

Last year's fundrasing event was a success.
