FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon as Hero’s Encore celebrates the accomplishments of our Heroes as they complete Stage 1 of the Peer-to-Performer journey.

This is the moment where Veterans, First Responders, and Transitioning Service Members step onto the stage for the first time—moving from isolation to impact.

What to Expect
Live acoustic performances
A powerful outdoor community experience
Connection with local supporters and partners
Real stories of growth, courage, and transformation

Come Meet the Heroes
This stage represents a group of Veterans, First Responders, and Transitioning Service Members who have committed to showing up, learning something new, and stepping forward together.

Each one has a different story—but they share the same decision: to build forward.

Some are picking up an instrument for the first time.
Some are returning to music after years away.
Some are rebuilding after injury, loss, or life transitions.

You’ll see that progress on stage.

The Moment That Matters
This isn’t just a performance. It’s a milestone in rebuilding identity, confidence, and purpose.
