Giving back is an important part of our mission statement, and we are proud to have supported many organizations all over the world since the company was first founded. Below are just a few of our more recent recipients. If you or someone you know has a charity or cause that you feel Bug Bam could get behind, please contact us.

There are approximately 30 to 35 children in the metro area that we serve at this time. Bug Bam proudly supports the annual SPKC Fishing Day.
National Veterans Golden Age Games
Life begins at 55, at least it does for more than 600 Veterans competing in this national event, the premier senior adaptive rehabilitation program in the United States. It is the only national multi-event sports and recreational seniors’ competition program designed to improve the quality of life for all older Veterans, including those with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. It is one of the most progressive and adaptive rehabilitative senior sports programs in the world, offering 14 different sports and recreational activities. Bug Bam has supported volunteers and athletes since 2005.
Lighthouse Medical Missions
In 1998 the first Lighthouse team went to The Gambia, Western Africa. The needs of the people were clear immediately, but their warmth and appreciation were evident as well. This made an impact on our hearts and our relationships with the African people has kept us coming back.
Since then, Lighthouse Medical Missions, working with the Door Christian Fellowship in Africa, has organized medical missions to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Burundi, The Democratic Republic of the Congo and The Gambia. We have also built churches, schools, constructed water projects and dug wells.
The vision of Lighthouse Medical Missions is to bring the love of God to the sick and dying in the poorer nations of the world. Our teams consist of volunteers who freely give of their time and finances to reach the forgotten and neglected with the truth of the Gospel through medicine.
Bug Bam is proud to be an ongoing contributor to Lighthouse Medical Missions and a major sponsor of the Walk to Africa events in Santa Monica, CA.
