In 2025, the Coast Guard Foundation will host events all across the country to honor the extraordinary heroism and mission excellence of the Coast Guard.  

Events will take place in New Orleans, Hollywood, Florida, Seattle, Washington DC, Anchorage, Long Beach, New York City, and Houston.

The tribute events shine a spotlight on the brave Coast Guard members who safeguard our nation's shores, rescue those in peril, and protect our maritime resources.

At a Coast Guard Foundation event, you'll be part of a dynamic program that celebrates Coast Guard members and their service, and have an opportunity to network with friends and business associates over the course of the evening.

Through powerful stories of courage and service, attendees will witness firsthand the service the Coast Guard provides the nation. We invite you to join us, Coast Guard members, Coast Guard senior leadership, and industry leaders to celebrate these everyday heroes. 

Sponsorships directly support our programs, like scholarships for Coast Guard children, education grants for spouses and enlisted members, morale and fitness equipment for units across the country, and emergency relief for Coast Guard families when disasters strike.
