Event Overview

Harmonies for Heroes (H4H) is an annual fundraising concert event—now in its seventh year—founded in 2019 to honor Sgt. Kraig Foyteck, who was killed in action in 2006 while serving in the U.S. Army. The event was created by his sister, Amy Gutzke, to celebrate Kraig’s life and service through music and community, while supporting veteran-focused causes.

Purpose & Beneficiary

50% of proceeds benefit American Defense Coalition (ADC) — a 501(C)3 nonprofit founded by Brad Kelley, dedicated to building the most accessible and advanced civilian defense training program in the nation — a program designed to prepare highly responsible citizens to defend themselves and others when it matters most.

The team at the ADC understands this training is critical, so they won't let finances stand in the way. That's why all training with the ADC is priced on a “Pay What You Can” basis. The goal is simple: create a scalable, vetted, and professional training pathway for citizens who want to be part of the solution, without letting finances stand in the way.

The remaining 50% of proceeds will go to the formation costs of the Harmonies for Heroes 501c3 and to a local veteran needing financial assistance. If you know someone that you think is a good candidate, please contact amy@trig44.com.
