Red, White, and Bluma was founded by former Kansas City Royals player Jaime Bluma after being inspired by the support that organizations like Folds of Honor provide to veterans like his father and their families. Jaime began his philanthropic journey by hosting a one-night concert and auction event to benefit Folds of Honor, which he dubbed Blumpalooza. After the event, Jaime realized that there were so many other organizations that would benefit from similar support, so he began hosting the event annually with the help of both local and national sponsors.
10 years later, Red, White, and Bluma has raised over half a million dollars for both military organizations and local non-profits like Warriors Ascent, Veterans Community Project, Myasthenia Gravis Foundation, and Children’s Mercy, which is donated to benefit specific needs within each organization.
