About the Gala

2nd Annual Antelope Valley Military Ball: Honoring Mothers

Her Love. Her Strength. Our Foundation.

Boots on the Ground Alliance proudly presents our 2nd Annual Antelope Valley Military Ball — a black-tie evening celebrating our service members and, this year, honoring the mothers who stand behind them.

Guests are invited to dress in black tie or formal military uniform for an evening of dinner, ceremony, and community — a chance to celebrate our military family in style.

This Year We Honor

Antelope Valley Blue Star Mothers, Chapter 14

This year, we’re proud to honor the Antelope Valley Blue Star Mothers, Chapter 14 — a chapter of the Congressionally Chartered Blue Star Mothers of America, serving Antelope Valley families since 2005.

Over more than 20 years, their chapter has sent thousands of care packages (“Hugs from Home”) to deployed service members, supported military families through deployments, and helped place headstones for previously unmarked veterans’ graves at Lancaster Cemetery.

We recognize the remarkable mothers, grandmothers, and women whose love, strength, and sacrifice have supported generations of service members.

Community Outreach

Through partnerships with schools, businesses, and community organizations, we engage in community outreach to foster understanding and appreciation for veterans. We provide opportunities for veterans to share their experiences and educate others about their service.

Fundraising Events

We host fundraising events to support local veterans’ organizations and initiatives. These events not only raise funds but also raise awareness about the challenges veterans face and the importance of supporting them.

Educational Workshops

Our educational workshops cover various topics relevant to veterans, such as financial planning, post-military education opportunities, and mental health resources. We empower veterans with knowledge and skills to thrive in their civilian lives.

Outdoor Activities

We organize outdoor activities, including hiking trips, camping retreats, and fishing expeditions, providing opportunities for veterans to relax, recreate, and bond with their fellow veterans in the beautiful Antelope Valley region.

 

Job Fairs and Career Workshops

We conduct job fairs and career workshops specifically tailored for veterans, connecting them with potential employers and offering valuable resources to support their successful transition into civilian careers.

Veterans Appreciation Events

We organize special events such as veterans’ breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners, providing a platform for veterans to come together, share their stories, and build a strong sense of camaraderie.
