MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Luke's Wings Heroes Gala

Mark your calendars for Luke’s Wings Ninth Annual Heroes Gala, presented by SRS Raise the Roof Foundation. The event will take place at the Ritz Carlton - West End in Washington D.C. Luke’s Wing's mission is to reunite wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans with their loved ones by providing complimentary airfare during recovery and rehabilitation. Join for a night to honor our Nation's heroes and those who support them. The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktail hour (sponsored by E-9 Corporation) and a silent auction. There will also be a wine wall, open until 9:00 p.m., where attendees can test their luck at winning a luxury bottle of wine. During dinner, Luke’s Wings will present the 2021 Hero Awards to retired U.S. Army Sargent Franz Walkup and U.S. Army Sergeant Stephanie Johnson. This year's keynote speaker is Kris “Tanto” Paronto, a former Army Ranger from the 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment, who inspired the critically acclaimed Michael Bay film, 13 Hours. Also appearing is viral artist and singing sensation Joe Everson. Everson will perform one of his famous live-action paintings while singing an American medley, and his artwork will be available for bidding during the evening’s auction. Ticket prices start at $275 per person. Saturday, September 18 from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, please click here.
