Victory for Veterans Benefit Dinner - Featuring John Heffron

We’re looking for auction items and gift cards for this event. Contact us at (810) 291-9231.

We're excited to announce the 3rd Annual Victory for Veterans Dinner Benefit, presented by Veterans Connected, on Saturday, February 8th, 2025. This year’s event will feature a comedy show headlined by John Heffron, winner of Last Comic Standing, known for his appearances on The Tonight Show, Chelsea Lately, The Late Late Show, HBO, FX, VH1, A&E, and CMT.

The event's goal is to raise funds for our ongoing mission to support veterans and their families. Since 2019, we've provided over $650,000 in aid, all with the aim of reducing the tragic suicide rate of 44 veterans per day. Our focus is on alleviating stressors and offering tangible solutions to veterans and their families in Livingston County and beyond.

All donations will be recognized on social media, on the sponsor banner displayed at the event, and with mentions during the event for Silver level and above. Together with valued partners like you, we've made a significant impact, with real lives saved. We hope you'll join us in our mission to reduce veteran suicides.

To avoid the processing fee for a credit card payment, you may send a check directly to Veterans Connected 134 W Main Street, Ste 300, Brighton, MI 48116. Make checks payable to: “Veterans Connected”
