Gold Stars Tribute Wall Exhibit

Sponsorship opportunities TBA

Join us for a powerful and lasting tribute to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Constitutional freedoms. We are seeking sponsors for our GoldStars Tribute Wall™, a poignant memorial dedicated to honoring those who fell while serving in the United States military from the beginning of the Gulf War through the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

This important initiative will be highlighted at an event taking place from October 31st to November 2nd at Bert’s Barracuda Harley-Davidson.

Our mission with the GoldStars Tribute Wall™ is two-fold: to provide a sacred space for remembrance and healing for the families of our fallen heroes, and to educate the general public about the immense sacrifices made to preserve the liberties we enjoy today. This wall serves as a constant reminder that freedom is not free, and that the names etched upon it represent the highest form of patriotism and dedication.

Edmonton Oilers at Tampa Bay Lightning

Honoring Heroes and a Commitment to Community

YES! The VACTB has been nominated for the Lightning Foundation Community Hero Award.

Join us and the Lightning Community Hero program at Amalie Arena, February 25th for a great evening.

GET TICKETS

The Lightning Community Hero program celebrates grassroots heroes whose noble efforts make a positive impact in our community. Since the launch of the Community Hero program in 2011, it has been our honor to tell the stories of each awardee’s rich history of volunteerism and good works via an in-game video that illustrates how the Hero is using his or her life to help others less fortunate, followed by the Foundation presenting the Hero with a $50,000 grant designated to the charities of their choice. The goal of the Community Hero program is not only to tell the stories of these incredible individuals, but also inspire our fans and those in attendance at our games to get involved and give back to the community.

The blast resulted in severe injuries to his lower right leg which was later followed by a below the knee amputation. Since then, he has undergone several surgeries with more scheduled for the future. Now, as the building of his new adapted home begins, Homes For Our Troops will be hosting this Community Kickoff.
