Military Ball

Veterans, active duty military members, and guests enjoyed a memorable night when we honored Women in Service, and enjoyed live music, dancing, and dinner. The 23rd Annual Military Ball was held on Saturday, November 2, 2019 at Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The Military Ball is a formal evening where veterans, active duty military members, and other community members can mingle over a cocktail hour, gourmet three-course dinner, and dancing. Guests will also have a chance to bid on extraordinary historic artifacts among other items in a silent auction before the program begins.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Scott Gibson, talented photographer and friend of the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation. His professionalism, dedication and wonderful humor made him a trusted partner at the Military Ball for the past several years.

Note: Information about 24th Annual Military Ball will be posted soon.
