“This country has not seen and probably will never know the true level of sacrifice of our veterans.”
- Thomas M. Smith
Meet the
Alabama Veterans Ball Association
Committee
Serving Our Veterans, One Ball at a Time
What started just as an idea soon spread like a wildfire and with help from friends has blossomed into what is today The Alabama Veterans Ball, and from it sprang The Alabama Veterans Ball Association. Both continue to grow by leaps and bounds to where we’re at today.
Our Alabama Veterans Ball Association is a 501-C3 Non-Profit organization comprised of Veterans and friends that are passionate about our Veterans. Our mission, and sole purpose is to organize, fund and host this annual event that is The ALABAMA VETERANS BALL
What a magnificent way to celebrate our Veteran’s service and sacrifice than with a military ball of their own. An elegant evening filled with music, dining, dancing, ceremony and camaraderie, designed to renew, invigorate and honor those that have given us so much and pay tribute to those who sacrificed all.
