ABOUT THE ANGEL GALA

The Angel Gala is Angels of America’s Fallen’s premier annual fundraising event, bringing together community leaders, supporters, and military families to honor the children of our fallen heroes. This powerful evening features inspiring stories, moving tributes, and opportunities to directly support our mission through live and silent auctions, donations, and sponsorships.

Guests hear firsthand from our Angels and their families, witness the impact of their support, and celebrate the resilience of children who have lost a parent in service to our country. All proceeds from the event go directly toward funding developmental activities that help these children grow, heal, and thrive.

A NIGHT OF IMPACT, HOPE, & LEGACY

On April 26, 2025, more than 700 guests gathered in Colorado Springs for an evening that was as inspiring as it was impactful. Together, we raised over $575,000, helping to ensure that the children of our fallen heroes have the resources and encouragement they need to thrive. From moving Angel stories to powerful video updates from our graduates, the night highlighted the long-term impact of your support.

In this special announcement video, Racheal offers a glimpse into her journey and the inspiration she will bring to this year’s Gala.

HOW SUPPORT TRANSFORMS LOSS INTO HOPE

In 2019, seven-year-old Collin lost his father, Major Dominic W. of the U.S. Air Force. One of his most treasured memories is a special day spent one-on-one with his dad at Legoland in Florida—a reminder of the deep bond they shared.

By 2021, Angels of America’s Fallen had stepped in to walk alongside Collin and encourage his passions. At just 12 years old, he was already thriving as a competitive soccer player, sharing the field with his sister, Julianna, in a special performance at the Angel Gala. That same evening, Collin honored his father’s legacy by singing the National Anthem.

Today, Collin & Julianna’s story continues to remind us of the importance of long-term support for the children of our fallen heroes—nurturing not only their talents and dreams, but also the memories they hold closest to their hearts.
