Step Into Purpose
One Pair of Boots at a Time
Join us for an unforgettable evening of honor, healing, and hope at the 2nd Annual Military & Veteran Boots Ball on Thursday, June 6, 2026, at the elegant Hyatt Regency: Patterson Ballroom in Lexington, KY.
This formal black-tie event invites you to pair your finest attire with military boots, or a meaningful pair of your choice, as a symbol of solidarity and remembrance.
Active duty service members and veterans are encouraged to wear their official military dress uniform in place of black-tie attire, honoring their service and the legacy of those they represent.
Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, powerful storytelling, and the visually moving Combat Boots Memorial Display, all while supporting suicide prevention efforts for our military and veteran community.
Purchase your tickets today and stand with us, because every step counts.
Together, we honor the fallen, uplift the living, and build a future filled with hope.
