WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network is honored to announce Lyft as the official transportation sponsor for the upcoming Rally4Vets Inaugural Ball, scheduled for January 20, 2025, at The Fairmont Hotel in Georgetown. Lyft's generous support will provide complimentary rides for all VIP guests attending the event, ensuring a seamless and elegant experience from arrival to departure.
Lyft has a longstanding commitment to supporting veterans and addressing transportation needs within the community. Through initiatives like LyftUp, the company has provided access to free and discounted rides to those in need, including job seekers, disaster survivors, and veterans accessing essential services. Lyft has also partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to expand transportation options for veterans, ensuring they can attend healthcare appointments and access employment opportunities. Additionally, Lyft has played a significant role in programs aimed at providing rides to veterans experiencing homelessness, helping them reach housing resources and critical support services.
"Lyft is proud to support the Rally4Vets Inaugural Ball as the official rideshare partner," said Lyft Head of Global Public Policy Heather Foster. "This non-partisan event celebrates the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country. We are committed to honoring and supporting veterans and will continue to do what we can to ensure they have access to reliable, affordable transportation."
The Rally4Vets Inaugural Ball is a black-tie gala dedicated to honoring the courage and sacrifice of our nation's veterans. Proceeds from the event benefit the Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network (DVEN), which focuses on raising awareness and resources for veterans, with a special emphasis on mental health challenges. Lyft's sponsorship exemplifies the company's dedication to bridging transportation gaps for underserved communities, especially those who have served in the military.
