Saluting Our Heroes is a signature fundraising event of the National Ability Center, dedicated to honoring and supporting active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.
This evening brings our community together in gratitude and camaraderie, featuring a welcoming cocktail hour, a banquet dinner, and powerful stories from distinguished keynote speakers and veteran participants.
Each year, we highlight voices that embody resilience, leadership, and the spirit of service. Proceeds from this event directly fund the National Ability Center’s military programs—providing veterans and their families with life-changing opportunities for adaptive recreation, rehabilitation, and community connection.
We invite you to join us in celebrating our heroes and making a lasting impact in their lives.
