United for Veterans Gala 2026: Time Travelers Ball
Holiday Inn: Elara Convention Center in Crystal Lake, IL
Celebrating 30 Years of Impact, Hope, and Service.
Step through time and join us for an unforgettable evening at the United for Veterans Gala: Time Traveler’s Ball as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Veterans Path to Hope.
This extraordinary evening combines elegance, entertainment, and philanthropy in support of veterans and their families throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. More than just a gala, this annual event is a critical fundraiser that helps Veterans Path to Hope continue providing housing assistance, employment support, financial aid, wellness programs, and other life-changing services to veterans facing challenges in our communities.
Earlier this year, we asked our supporters to help choose the theme for our milestone 30th Anniversary Gala, and the overwhelming favorite was Time Traveler’s Ball. Whether you’re inspired by the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, the sophistication of the Victorian Era, the energy of the 1980s, or any other period in history, we invite you to embrace the theme and join us for a journey through time.
While we look forward to seeing your interpretation of your favorite era, your presence and support are what truly make the evening special. Together, we’ll celebrate three decades of service, honor the lives we’ve impacted, and raise critical funds to help even more veterans find hope, stability, and brighter futures.
Enjoy an evening filled with fine dining, entertainment, auctions, inspiring stories, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of those who have served our nation.

Together, we can make our 30th Anniversary Gala our most impactful one yet.
