A Celebration with a

Cause

Every year we gather to support our military by raising money for the Fisher House Foundation. The Warfighter’s sacrifices can never be repaid, but we can in some small measure, lessen their burden by giving magnanimously to the worthwhile cause of providing much needed support to our wounded service members, veterans, and their families.

The Fisher House Gala is not only raising funds—we are demonstrating our gratitude to those wounded heroes and their families who now need our help. So come join us for a night of food, drink, and fun, all while giving back to those who have given so much.

Perry Point Fisher House Rendering

Perry Point Update!

It is finally happening! A new 12-bedroom Fisher House is planned to built at the Perry Point VAMC, adjacent to the campus Post Office. The house will provide temporary lodging where Military and veteran families can stay free of charge while a loved one is admitted to the hospital at Perry Point, MD.  The construction is scheduled to begin this winter, with activations planned for the summer of 2027. Thank you to all those who helped make this possible. You can still contribute to this facility by donating using the link below or participating in our Gala’s basket raffle.
