A Soldier's Soirée: Honor in Color Gala

Friday, November 6, 2026 | 6:30 p.m.
The Ballroom at Bayou Place
500 Texas Street | Downtown Houston

The Buffalo Soldiers National Museum preserves the legacy of Black American military service.

As the Museum marks its 25th anniversary and commemorates 160 years since the establishment of the Buffalo Soldier regiments, the Soirée will launch a bold new chapter and build momentum toward the Museum’s highly anticipated Grand Reopening in 2027.

On November 6, 2026, we invite you to help carry the legacy forward.

Join civic leaders, veterans, corporate partners, philanthropists, artists, and community champions for an extraordinary evening of immersive experiences, fine dining, USO inspired entertainment, cultural performances, and dynamic silent and live auctions.

Sponsorship of A Soldier’s Soirée helps the Museum:

Provide more than 4,000 students each year with immersive field trips and educational experiences that bring history to life.
Engage 5,000 young people annually through STEAM workshops, camps, and family programs that inspire curiosity, confidence, and connection.
Preserve and share priceless archives, oral histories, and cultural collections for future generations.
Support veterans and military families through meaningful public programs, community initiatives, and monthly food assistance.
Welcome an estimated 40,000 visitors during the Museum's reopening year through innovative exhibitions and immersive storytelling experiences.

Our goal is to raise $525,000 to provide the people, programs, visitor services, educational experiences, and community access needed to bring the transformed Museum fully to life.

Your sponsorship, table purchase, ticket, or charitable gift will help ensure that students see themselves in the American story, veterans know their service is remembered, and future generations inherit a fuller understanding of the courage that shaped our nation.

Take your place in this historic celebration.

Join us Friday, November 6, 2026, for A Soldier’s Soirée: Honor in Color.
