Why Your Support Matters

NAVFOC brings together veterans organizations, fraternal organizations, civic partners, and community supporters to strengthen coordination, share information, support major veterans events, and help connect people and organizations across North Alabama.

Sponsorships and ticket purchases help support the Founder’s Day Luncheon, allow NAVFOC to recognize the organizations and volunteers serving our community, and help sustain coalition activities throughout the year.

Sponsorship and Ticket Options

Sponsorship opportunities are available at several levels and may include luncheon tables, event recognition, program recognition, and other benefits based on sponsorship level. Individual luncheon tickets are also available.

Each NAVFOC member organization may request up to two complimentary luncheon tickets. Complimentary ticket requests will be reviewed by NAVFOC to prevent duplicate submissions and confirm availability.
