A Decade of Service: SOF Missions’ Diamond Gala

5

Shield of Faith (SOF) Missions will celebrate 10 years of serving the nation’s warriors at its 10th Annual Emerald Coast Gala—The Diamond Gala—on Aug. 29, 2026, at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center.

SOF Missions works to combat suicide among active-duty service members, veterans and first responders by providing comprehensive, no-cost care addressing psychological, physical, social and spiritual well-being. Through Be Resilient Clinics and Warrior Retreats—including local programs at EXOS at Andrews Institute—the organization has provided more than $10.7 million in support to over 4,000 warriors nationwide.

The Diamond Gala will feature dinner and dessert, a distinguished guest speaker, performances by First Dance Ballroom Studio and the Bow Tied Music Quartet, dancing, silent auction experiences, and powerful stories celebrating a decade of impact.

Proceeds directly support SOF Missions’ warrior care programs, helping ensure financial barriers never prevent someone from receiving life-changing assistance.
