Insights

This charitable initiative, while admirable, has minimal direct financial impact on BRCC's business performance. The $250,000 donation represents a relatively small commitment given the company's market capitalization of $225.7M. However, the partnership with UFC and Bruce Buffer offers valuable brand exposure to UFC's massive audience of over 700 million fans, potentially strengthening BRCC's market position in the veteran-focused consumer segment.

The timing of this initiative during UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden provides significant visibility, though the actual revenue impact from increased brand awareness would be difficult to quantify. The collaboration aligns well with BRCC's core mission and target demographic, reinforcing their brand identity as a veteran-focused company, but is unlikely to materially affect near-term financial performance.

Proceeds from the auction will support Special Operations Warrior Foundation’s Children with Disabilities Program

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Black Rifle Coffee Company (NYSE: BRCC) (“BRCC,” “the Company”), a veteran-founded premium lifestyle brand and coffee company supporting the service community, and UFC®, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization, have joined forces to salute military service by raising funds for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) through the non-profit's first-ever specialty memorabilia auction.

During the highly anticipated UFC® 309: JONES vs. MIOCIC, taking place Saturday, November 16, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, legendary Octagon® announcer and sartorial icon Bruce Buffer will don a jacket designed by King & Bay Custom Clothing Inc. to honor veterans in every generation. The special silk jacquard jacket features hand-picked tiger striped camouflage to commemorate the Vietnam War, custom bullethead-stamped buttons, and an interior lining dedicated to honoring every generation of American warfighters.

Following the fight, the specialty suit will be available at auction with proceeds benefitting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation’s Children with Disabilities Program. Beginning Saturday, November 16 at 12:05 a.m. EST and concluding Saturday, November 23 at 9:00 p.m. EST, fans and collectors will have the opportunity to own a piece of UFC history and support some of America’s most dedicated warriors and their families.

Bruce Buffer has put so much of himself into supporting service members and veterans, and he's been just incredible to work with. We’re excited to see the suit in the Octagon, and we’re even more excited to see it at auction supporting the work SOWF does to make sure some incredible kids get the education they need and deserve.”

“This is more than just a suit,” said UFC Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer. “This is a way to bring massive awareness to the men and women who’ve served this country. It reminds us of the freedoms that we often take for granted. I’m proud to wear it, and I’m proud to support the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.”

"We are incredibly grateful to Black Rifle Coffee Company and Bruce Buffer for their unwavering support of our mission," said Major General (Ret.) Clay Hutmacher, President and CEO of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
