"We are honored to partner with Veterans, military personnel, and Swords to Plowshares in their important work to support permanent housing, address food insecurity, and serve individuals with disabilities."
-Lia Economopoulos, Bank of San Francisco
"We’re proud to support Swords to Plowshares and their vital work helping veterans navigate the challenges of returning home by providing access to housing, services, and community they need to achieve long-term stability. As a general contractor focused on creating housing for our Community, that mission resonates deeply with us at Cahill through our longstanding partnership with Swords to Plowshares and past collaborations at Maceo May and Veterans Commons. The Veterans Day Celebration is a meaningful opportunity for us to come together in support of that work, recognize the impacts of Swords to Plowshares, and encourage others to support as we create lasting change in our communities and for those who served our country."  
-Matt Irwin, Vice President, Cahill
"100% for a creative learners"

About the Event

For three decades, our Veterans Day Celebration has united supporters, veterans, and community leaders to honor service and resilience. This annual tradition includes music, open bar, light refreshments, and a short award program that honors a veteran with our Profiles of Strength Award.

Your sponsorship fuels wraparound services that enable nearly 3,000 veterans in our community to achieve health, housing, wellness, and stability.
