THE FOURTH ANNUAL GALA / PROGRAM ARCHIVE
A gathering with purpose.
A mission that continues.
The October 17, 2026 program brought the mission into focus through dinner, music, personal stories and live and silent auctions. The program details below come from the event’s published listing, rather than a final attendance or fundraising report.
At the table
The Gala offered individual tickets and reserved tables of eight, giving friends, families and local supporters a way to gather around the mission.
In the room
The published program named guest speakers Dan Briggs, Major Gideon Lovik and Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Perry Blackburn.
Alongside the event
Sponsors supported tables and event components, with benefits and recognition described in the selected package. For questions about an existing package, contact the team.
THREE GOLF TOURNAMENTS / ONE SHARED MISSION
Another way to
stand together.
Our Heroes Golf Tournament began on May 4, 2024. Supporters returned for the second tournament on May 17, 2025, and the third on May 9, 2026, at Seven Springs Golf & Country Club. Each gathering helped carry community support for the mission forward.
