Please join us for this 21st Annual event!
Heroes Tribute Weekend
While Heroes Tribute Gala is the anchor event, there are other activities that make up Heroes Tribute Weekend. Each is designed to be enjoyable for all who attend and, at the same time, bring families of fallen heroes together for mutual support. And, with the exception of the Survivor Luncheon, first responders and appreciative citizens are encouraged to attend all events as well.
Welcome Reception
An informal reception will begin at 4:00 PM (Central) in the Atrium just outside the Gala Hall. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and your favorite beverages as you peruse our logo wear and Silent Auction items while visiting with friends new and old.
Silent Auction
The auction will take place in the Atrium outside the Gala Hall and will also be available online. It is important to note that while the auction is a fundraising component intended to help offset the cost of the weekend, Heroes Tribute Gala is not a fundraising event. The Silent Auction pauses when the formal program begins, resumes during dinner, and then ends before the formal program resumes. All auction activities are conducted outside the Gala Hall as we do not want to do anything that will take the focus away from the heroes and their families.
Heroes Tribute Gala
Doors open and seating begins at approximately 5:20 PM (Central). The event begins at 6:00 PM (Central).
Heroes Tribute Gala is when we gather in the presence of heroes with the families of heroes to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
Whether you work in Public Safety, are the survivor of a fallen hero, or simply appreciate the service and sacrifice of heroes, you will not want to miss this event.
Program
The formal program begins promptly at 6:00 PM (Central) with a very moving tribute to all fallen public safety heroes whose family members are present – including a special tribute to all who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty in Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri in 2023.
Dinner immediately follows.
Following dinner, the program will continue with speakers and presentations showcasing the activities of Supporting Heroes over the last year – including some who have been served or witnessed the organization serve firsthand. It will close with an uplifting candlelight ceremony sharing light and hope as we go forward.
