Join Charlie Golf One for the 2026 Evening of Valor
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026
Time: 5:00 - 11:00 PM
Location: Park Place Hotel in downtown Traverse City
This black-tie gala is more than an unforgettable evening of dinner, auctions, music, and fellowship. It is the most important night of the year for our community of Veterans, families, advocates, and supporters.
Last year, the generosity of our sponsors, auction donors, and guests raised more than $100,000. Those funds helped move our vision for supportive, affordable Veteran housing from possibility toward reality. Every ticket purchased, table sponsored, auction item donated, and contribution made strengthens Charlie Golf One’s ability to bridge the gap between military and civilian life.
Your support helps create pathways to housing, essential services, stability, and renewed purpose for local Veterans and their families. Together, we are doing more than hosting a gala. We are building something permanent for those who once stood for us.

Beyond the Battlefield—Reflections on Duty, Change, and the Journey Back to Community
Coming home isn’t just about leaving the battlefield—it’s about stepping into a world that feels unfamiliar. One day, service members are bound by mission and brotherhood; the next, they’re expected to navigate a society that doesn’t understand their experience. The camaraderie is gone, the purpose fades, and the weight of memories lingers. Conversations feel different. Routine feels empty. Reintegration isn’t just about finding a job—it’s about rebuilding identity and connection. At Charlie Golf One, we know this journey is one of the hardest yet, and no veteran should have to take it alone.
In this video you will hear from veterans as they share their personal stories of reintegration—the challenges, the triumphs, and the path back to community.
