Episode #34, Service Before Self Podcast
We recently released the latest episode of the Service Before Self podcast, “Creating Community: The Andy Quattlebaum Warrior Hunt 2026,” featuring Ed Dennis, Executive Director of the Andy Quattlebaum and Blackwell Family Foundation (AQBFF), and Sam Whitehurst, Vice President, Programs & Services at Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services.
This episode reflects on their experience during the Andy Quattlebaum Warrior Hunt 2026 this past February, where veterans from diverse backgrounds came together for far more than a traditional outdoor event. Their discussion explores how shared experiences, authentic relationships, and meaningful dialogue fosters a lasting sense of community that extended well beyond the hunt itself.
The Center is proud to share this story of partnership, service, and community while continuing to elevate innovative approaches that strengthen the lives of those who have served.
