Tickets are available now for the 7th annual Midway American Patriot Award Gala, set to take place aboard the USS Midway in the San Diego Bay on August 29.
This black-tie event will be held on the flight deck. Attendees will enjoy live music, silent and live auction events, dinner, dancing, and an exciting formal ceremony honoring the 2013 Patriot Award winner, San Diego philanthropist Malin Burnham.
Past recipients include Bob Hope, the surviving WWII Medal of Honor recipients, Lee Iacocca, Senator John McCain, and Governor Pete Wilson.
The gala is the USS Midway Museum’s only annual fundraiser. Funds go to support the DJO Global “No Child Left Ashore” educational program. Thousands of local students participate in the Midway University classes onboard the ship each year.
