The annual Salute to Heroes Gala on February 21, 2026, will support K9s For Warriors' mission to end veteran suicide by providing service dogs to those suffering from PTSD and trauma.
The annual Salute to Heroes Gala, a signature black-tie event benefiting K9s For Warriors, is scheduled for February 21, 2026, at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa. This gala aims to raise critical funds to support the organization's mission of ending veteran suicide by providing highly trained service dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma.
The event represents a significant fundraising opportunity for a cause that addresses the critical issue of veteran mental health and suicide prevention. Charity Ace will be assisting with the fundraising efforts for this important initiative. The gala's focus on providing service dogs to veterans demonstrates a practical approach to addressing the mental health challenges faced by those who have served.
Guests attending the gala can expect a sophisticated evening featuring a welcome cocktail reception, gourmet three-course dinner, premium open bar, exclusive silent auction, and moving testimonials from program graduates whose lives have been transformed. The evening will conclude with a special Night Cap after-party featuring an open bar for further celebration and networking.
The importance of this event extends beyond fundraising, as it brings attention to the ongoing mental health challenges faced by military veterans and the effectiveness of service dog programs in providing support.
