Cocktails, silent auction, dinner, dancing and special entertainment

Your mission: Help us make history! Join your friends and colleagues at the rendezvous point – the National World War II Museum – for the Foundation's annual fundraising event. In the museum's* new showcase, the U.S. Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center, dine and dance under a stunning display of iconic fighter planes restored to their former glory. Get a bird's-eye view from three levels of elevated catwalks, explore interactive battle maps and hear soldiers' stories in oral history audio booths.

Our popular silent auction will feature ophthalmic equipment, vacation packages, jewelry, world-class wine, entertainment memorabilia and much more. This year, we're introducing cutting-edge mobile bidding to keep the action exciting, so bring your smartphone or cell phone!

Get ready for a historic night of flight, philanthropy and authentic New Orleans fun! Join us in saluting your Academy's programs at the premier social event at the Annual Meeting.
