The Warriors Walk Dinner is a yearly event that takes place to give recognition and show appreciation to all of our sponsors and supporters for the year. The evening is comprised of entertainment, raffles, award presentations, a keynote speaker, along with food and drinks. The Dinner takes place every second Friday in September, which is the evening before The Walk. Each attendee of the Warriors Walk Dinner will be able to hear directly from our Founder, Ryan Brazel, and learn about the successes and future visions of The Walk. Sponsors will be highlighted and awarded with plaques from the Harry E Anderson VFW Post #9545 during a presentation to all attendees. Finally, the James L Bartz award will be presented to the individual or team whose combined efforts raised the most monetary donations for The Warriors Walk this year.

The Warriors Walk envisioned an event like this to provide a platform to give our sponsors, donors, and participants direct information on how their efforts and money are being utilized. We are proud to announce that for the fifth year in a row, the Headstrong Project will be the recipient of all proceeds raised by The Warriors Walk. To date, the Warriors Walk has raised 125k that has been donated to the HeadStrong Project.
So please, come out and join us for an evening of celebration and remembrance as we work to build this coalition to combat Veteran suicide. We can’t wait to see you there!
