The Bradenton Woman's Club is bringing the community together for a night of food, music, and celebration all to help send 10 deserving female veterans on the GFWC Florida Flight of Honor. This life-changing trip will take them to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials built in their honor.
The Veterans Benefit Soiree will take place on Saturday, October 4, from 6-10 PM at the Bradenton Woman's Club. Guests can enjoy dinner, gaming, an open bar featuring beer, wine, and signature cocktails, and live entertainment by The Paramount Swing Quintet. Cocktail attire is encouraged for the evening. Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased online.
Giving Back to Women Who Served
The GFWC Florida Flight of Honor gives veterans the opportunity to see the memorials dedicated to their service--an experience that many have never had. This year's goal is to make that possible for 10 women who have served our country. Proceeds from the event will directly fund their trip, covering travel expenses, accommodations, and the support needed to ensure their journey is meaningful and memorable.
