Events

Originally conceived as Steer Auction Steak Night, prompted by the donation of a steer purchased at Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, BOOTS & HEROES 6th Annual Charity Gala has grown into a highly-sought after ticket to celebrate the military community with a delicious steak dinner, raffle, silent auction, and live music for dancing.

Get ready to kick up your heels and celebrate our brave heroes in style. Join us for a night of fun, music, and camaraderie, and all for a great cause! This year's Boots & Heroes proceeds will benefit Camp SHiEld, VFW Post 8790, and its Auxiliary. Let's honor our heroes and make unforgettable memories together. See you there!

About the Beneficiaries

As part of our unwavering commitment to veterans and their communities, the net proceeds generated from the event will contribute directly to supporting the initiatives of VFW Post 8790, its Auxiliary, and Camp SHiEld. These organizations play a crucial role in providing essential services, support, and resources to our veterans and their families.

We believe that by coming together as a community, we can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of those who have served our country with bravery and dedication.
