*VIP Reception 7-8pm | Gala 8-11pm* This annual event raises critical funds to support homeless and disabled veterans throughout the Greater New Orleans area through housing assistance, benefits advocacy, resource navigation, emergency support, and community outreach programs.

Beginning at 7 p.m., the gala will bring together veterans, elected officials, business leaders, community organizations, military supporters, and residents for an evening dedicated to honoring those who have served our nation while supporting programs that help veterans rebuild their lives. Guests are invited to wear elegant all-white attire and enjoy dinner, live entertainment by Rechell Cook and the REE Generation Band, networking opportunities, silent auction experiences, and special presentations recognizing the service and sacrifices of America’s veterans.
