Victory Ball Sponsorship Opportunities

Become Part of an Unforgettable Evening

On the evening of December 7, 2026, guests will gather aboard the legendary USS Missouri—the battleship where World War II officially came to an end—for the Pearl Harbor 85 Victory Ball.

More than a gala, the Victory Ball is a celebration of service, remembrance, and the enduring promise to honor those who answered our nation’s call. Military leaders, veterans, corporate partners, historians, families, and distinguished guests will come together in one of the most historic settings in the world.
