Update on All-American Grand Bash and Mission for Miracles. ,

Thank you for your support of the All-American Grand Bash and Mission for Miracles over the past twelve years.  We simply could not have accomplished all of what we have without you.  I wanted to give you an update on our plans for the future and a new bash opportunity, The Discover Greene Fall Bash in Waynesburg, PA.

We fully intend to have the All-American Grand Bash return to Mylan Park in the future. However, there have been several changes that make having an event of our size at Mylan Park difficult.  We are still exploring various non-profit partners that we would need to have the event in West Virginia.  We believe that all the issues can and will be solved over time, and we will return to Mylan Park more strongly than ever.

Mission for Miracles objectives have not changed.  We are dedicated to supporting medical facilities that treat spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions, advancing recovery research, and aiding regional organizations that help families heal together.  We have continued our partnership with Ryan Shazier and his foundation to explore additional funding opportunities for the spinal cord injury community.

Greene County and Waynesburg, PA have always been home base for the All-American Grand Bash (AAGB) and Mission for Miracles.  In a typical year, 80% to 90% of the volunteers and sponsorships for the AAGB were from Greene County with average ticket sales around 25% of the event totals.  Simply, this community has been the backbone of the AAGB.

Greene County and Waynesburg, like most Appalachian communities, has experienced a consistent decline in population and economic prosperity over the last 40 years. Through our journeys with the AAGB and Mission for Miracles, I have met several individuals from Pittsburgh and West Virginia who have an admiration for Greene County for various reasons.  The conclusion has always been with the county being located directly between Pittsburgh and Morgantown, we should be striving to build quality of life projects and economic development to draw people from our neighboring communities as well as enhance the quality of life for residents.  The Discover Greene Fall Bash plans to help fund projects working toward this goal!

The Discover Greene Fall Bash will take place on October 3, 2026 at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Waynesburg.  Tickets and information are available online at DiscoverGreeneBash.com. The event will bring people, businesses, and community supporters together for one high-energy event. Every ticket, bundle, and sponsorship helps create a stronger platform for promoting Greene County, supporting local momentum, and showing more people what makes this place worth discovering.
