Honoring Heroes: Past, Present & Future

Join us on November 10, 2026, for IAVA’s annual Heroes Gala, an unforgettable evening of patriotism, inspiration, and celebration as we honor the heroes who shaped our past, strengthen our present, and inspire our future.

As we mark 25 years since September 11, 2001, this year’s Gala pays special tribute to the New York City first responders whose extraordinary courage and sacrifice in the face of tragedy inspired a generation to serve.

We’ll also celebrate the IAVA Cavalry Member of the Year, recognizing a veteran whose leadership, dedication, and continued service embody the very best of our community.

And as we look to the future, we’ll recognize TriWest Healthcare Alliance for its corporate partnership and commitment to supporting veterans and their families in the years ahead.

Three generations of impact. One enduring commitment to service.

Together, we’ll honor the legacy of those who came before us, celebrate the leaders making a difference today, and look ahead to a brighter future for America’s veterans.

Join us for an extraordinary evening as we celebrate the heroes who continue to inspire our nation.
