Sixth Annual FreedomSystem.Org “Remember!” Gala to Be Held November 8, 2026
Elkhart, IN — FreedomSystem.Org proudly announces its sixth annual “Remember!” Gala, scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2026, at the Northern Indiana Event Center, 21565 Executive Parkway, Elkhart.
Support Veterans Through Community Programs
Each year, the FreedomSystem.Org Remember Gala serves as the organization’s main fundraiser, supporting vital programs for military veterans. Initiatives include FreedomSystem.Org’s mountain biking program, career-building programs, and other efforts that empower and connect veterans across Michiana. After careful consideration, the board has moved the event from May to November to better accommodate the community.
Honoring Veterans and Building Community
The “Remember!” Gala gives the community a chance to share experiences and express gratitude to local veterans. Many veterans often go unrecognized, and this event ensures they feel appreciated for their service.
This year’s keynote speaker is retired U.S. Army Infantryman and Veteran Entrepreneur John Burk. An Iraq War veteran and former drill instructor, Burk emphasizes endurance, strength, and brotherhood in both military and civilian life. His story reflects FreedomSystem.Org’s mission of helping veterans rediscover purpose and resilience.
An Evening to Remember
Joining Burk, Casey Hendrickson and Lauren Zeugner will serve as the evening’s Masters of Ceremonies. Kenny Holmes, President and Founder of FreedomSystem.Org, will provide updates on current and upcoming programs.
Guests will enjoy live music by Samuel Brown and Julia James, along with raffles, exclusive prize drawings, and a night filled with camaraderie and support for veterans.
