Help Us Find Our Home

 

BBF is actively exploring opportunities for a permanent headquarters and automotive training facility.

 

Our vision is to create a dynamic space that includes a working restoration garage, training areas, classrooms, participant spaces, offices, vehicle storage, and gathering space for automotive and community events.

 

We welcome conversations regarding the donation of commercial or industrial property, buildings, garages, warehouses, land, or other facilities that could become the future home of BBF.

 

A donated property could create a permanent place where generations of participants learn, build, create, and launch careers.
