Some evenings become memories that last a lifetime—and our 2026 Father-Daughter Dance was one of them. ✨

From twirls on the dance floor to shared laughter and unforgettable smiles, the night was filled with moments that celebrated the special bond between fathers and daughters.

Watching these families create memories together reminded us why opportunities for connection matter so much.

Every dance, every hug, and every photo captured the love, joy, and strength that make our military community so extraordinary.

Thank you to all the fathers, daughters, families, volunteers, and staff who made this magical evening possible. And a special thank you to USAA for helping us create meaningful experiences that strengthen military families and build memories that will be treasured for years to come.
Enjoy a look back at this unforgettable night! 💃🕺✨
