2nd Annual Bubba Memorial Workout

Please join us on Sunday, May 22 at 4pm at GOAT Training in Edwards, Colorado, as we participate in the 2nd Annual Bubba Memorial Workout in remembrance of Combat Controller Chris Rush.  

We lost Chris to suicide on April 21, 2020 and we are committed to keeping his memory alive by honoring him on what would have been his 43rd birthday. To his family he was affectionately known as “Bubba”, and to his teammates he was comically known as “AZ”.   Eric Hohman is one of those teammates and he has founded First There Foundation, a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure all Combat Controllers have a teammate to reach out to when life becomes difficult. Their goals are to eradicate suicide among teammates and restore self-confidence, purpose and self esteem. They connect Combat Controllers to Mental Health, Financial, Career and Substance Abuse Providers.
 Please see the links below for more information about the good work the First There Foundation is doing and the important role Combat Controllers play in the Special Operations Community.
