Since 2014, the Gala has been attended by over 1,200 guests and raised over $100,000 for veteran non-profits.

The 2020 Gala will again be held at the French Embassy in Washington, DC on February 8, 2020, honoring the Franco-American alliance that has been in existence since the American Revolution.
