CELEBRATE CHARACTER + SERVICE AT AN UNFORGETTABLE EVENING
2026 Annual “If Not Me, Then Who…” Gala
The Annual “If Not Me, Then Who…” Gala is a distinguished event held at the historic Union League of Philadelphia. This exclusive evening brings together TMF’s most dedicated supporters and guests to recognize the work of dedicated volunteers and pay tribute to our country’s fallen heroes. In addition to an exclusive cocktail hour and plated dinner, the event features inspiring speakers and the presentation of TMF awards that recognize outstanding service in communities nationwide.
Sponsor the Evening
This black-tie evening is brought to life through the generous support of sponsors and donors who hold a passion for the military community and an enduring commitment to ensuring our nation’s veterans are equipped to lead with character in their communities. Sponsoring the “If Not Me, Then Who…” Gala offers an opportunity to align your company or foundation with those most resilient among us - our veterans, surviving families of fallen heroes, and active duty service members.
