A Decade of Service: SOF Missions’ Diamond Gala

62

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.
