Still Serving Veterans was honored to be the beneficiary of the Huntsville Havoc’s Military Appreciation Night on Saturday, March 28, at Propst Arena. The evening was a tremendous success, bringing together a sell-out crowd of 6,273 fans to celebrate and honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes.

During the game, Havoc players wore specialty jerseys as a tribute to those who served, with the jersey auction helping raise funds for Still Serving Veterans. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the community and event supporters, more than $75,000 was raised to benefit Veterans and their families through SSV’s no-cost programs and services.

We are deeply grateful to the Huntsville Havoc, event sponsors, and everyone who attended and supported this special night. Their generosity will help us continue serving Veterans and their families across our community.
