This black-tie event honors the service of America's veterans while bringing together civilians, military supporters, and community leaders to champion veteran mental health. Guided by the theme "We Drive. They Survive."—inspired by DVEN's Rally4Vets motorsports initiative—the evening highlights the importance of unity, resilience, and community in empowering veterans.

An Evening of Honor and Impact
The Rally4Vets Military Inaugural Ball offers a one-of-a-kind evening of elegance, reflection, and unity. Guests will step into an atmosphere inspired by timeless tradition, adorned with accents of gold and cream, sophisticated navy, and red to honor the spirit of service. From a red-carpet entrance to exclusive VIP experiences, including a pre-gala reception in the Colonnade Room, attendees are invited to enjoy the charm and grandeur of the Fairmont Hotel while connecting with others who share a commitment to supporting veterans.
We Drive. They Survive.
The Ball's theme, "We Drive. They Survive.", is brought to life in both spirit and purpose throughout the event. Drawing on DVEN's Rally4Vets motorsports program, the theme encapsulates the powerful sense of camaraderie, resilience, and community that underpins every DVEN initiative. By engaging veterans in motorsports and related events, Rally4Vets fosters community support, combats isolation, and empowers veterans in their journey toward better mental health.
Supporting Veterans' Mental Health: A Shared Mission
One of the core missions of the Military Inaugural Ball is to spotlight the importance of mental health awareness within the veteran community. Veterans face unique mental health challenges, and through DVEN's programs and community outreach, they are empowered with resources, connections, and opportunities to support mental well-being.
"Veterans should never have to face their battles alone," said Robert Hess, President of DVEN and Rally4Vets. "At the Military Inaugural Ball, we come together not only to celebrate our veterans' service but to pledge our support for their mental health and well-being. 'We Drive. They Survive.' reflects the drive to support veterans and ensure no one feels left behind."
An Evening of Elegance, Unity, and Tribute
The evening will feature a series of formal presentations, including the Presentation of Colors, the National Anthem, a multi-faith invocation to honor the diversity of the military community and the presentation of the 2024 Rally4Vets Top Dog Championship trophy to the U.S. Air Force. Guests are encouraged to wear black-tie attire, and active and retired military members are invited to don formal military dress to highlight their dedication and service.
In addition to the evening's formal program, the Military Inaugural Ball will feature:
- A gourmet dining experience for VIP guests, reminiscent of high-profile events, inspired by acclaimed culinary standards, and designed to foster connection and enjoyment.
- A red-carpet welcome for VIP guests, offering photo opportunities and a memorable entrance to the Fairmont Hotel's luxurious ballroom.
