The Patriot Gala is Charlotte’s premier black-tie event organized to honor those serving in our military and to raise money to benefit our wounded warriors and their families, many of whom have returned or are returning home with catastrophic injuries.  Like previous Patriot Galas, the evening includes the finest in wine and food, a 21-gun salute, a special tribute to our fallen warriors from North and South Carolina, champagne toasts, live and silent auctions and dancing all set in the exclusive Quail Hollow Club.  

Patriot Charities is a local, grassroots, 501©3, and the money raised each year goes to support wounded warrior programs in the Carolinas by donating to charities such as the USO of North Carolina Charlotte Center and the North Carolina Heroes Fund. Additional past beneficiaries include American Legion Unit 270, Fisher House Foundation, Hope for the Warriors,  Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and the Wounded Warrior Project. Our goal is to donate $100,000 from this year’s Gala to our beneficiaries in support of our mission – to raise funds to financially assist non-profit organizations and local programs within the Carolinas concerned with the immediate welfare, care and support for our military and their families wounded in ongoing military operations.
