Light the Night Gala (Finding Light in Darkness)

Light the Night Gala is hosted by Combat Boots and High Heels, this signature fundraising event brings together veterans, service members, military families, and community supporters to shine a light on mental wellness and suicide prevention. Centered around the theme, "Finding Light in Darkness," the gala serves as a bridge between September's Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and November's National Veterans and Military Families Month. Through storytelling, recognition, community partnership, and shared purpose, the event raises critical funds to support emergency assistance, wellness programs, and connection initiatives that strengthen protective factors for Veterans and Service Members. Guests will enjoy dinner, entertainment, silent auctions, raffles, and an opportunity to invest in hope for those who have sacrificed so much.

Join us on October 24th, 2026, as we come together to honor service, strengthen our community, and remind every veteran and service member that they never have to walk alone. Because hope grows brighter when we carry the light together.
