Bubba’s 33 in Yuma donates to veteran housing with Patriot Burger sales

Bubba’s 33 in Yuma will send $1 from every Patriot Burger sold in July to Homes For Our Troops, turning a South Fourth Avenue menu item into a direct fundraiser for veteran housing. The campaign runs Wednesday, July 1, through Friday, July 31, and the restaurant says all Bubba’s 33 locations are taking part.

The Patriot Burger is built as a BBQ burger with a beef patty, onion ring, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayonnaise and BBQ sauce. At the posted rate, every 1,000 burgers sold would generate $1,000 for Homes For Our Troops, and 10,000 burgers would produce $10,000, making the drive’s reach depend entirely on how many customers order the sandwich during the month.

Bubba’s 33 is also tying the promotion to a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle giveaway. The official rules show the sweepstakes opens July 1, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. ET and closes July 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, and entry is limited to legal U.S. residents age 18 or older. In-store donations to Homes For Our Troops can also be made at Bubba’s 33 locations, adding another route for customers who want to give beyond the burger sale.

Homes For Our Troops has a recent example of what that money can help build. On Sept. 21, 2024, the nonprofit delivered its 400th specially adapted custom home to Marine LCpl. Alberto Flores Jr. and his family in New Braunfels, Texas, during HFOT’s 20th anniversary year. Flores was severely injured in Iraq and lost his right leg above the knee, and the home includes more than 40 major adaptations, among them widened doorways, a roll-in shower, pull-down shelving and lowered countertops.

That precedent gives the Yuma campaign a concrete benchmark. The money raised locally will not stay in Yuma, but it will feed a national program that builds accessible homes for post-9/11 veterans who were severely injured in the line of duty, with each burger sold converting a meal order into a measurable contribution.
