An Evening of Bravery
On the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11th, a sold-out room came together in Raleigh to honor the bravery forged in the moments that shaped our nation’s heroes — and to fund the treatments that bring them home again.

Twenty-five years later, still answering the call
Guests arrived at the Pavilion at the Angus Barn as the Bull City Battalion presented the colors, marking a quarter century since September 11, 2001. What followed was dinner, music, and a series of mission moments that put the work in plain terms: veterans who came back carrying wounds no one could see, and the therapy that gave them their lives back.
Presentation of the Colors
Army ROTC cadets from Duke University and North Carolina Central University opened the evening.

The Work Continues
More than 75,000 North Carolina veterans are living with the invisible wounds of war. Seventy percent know they need help; only thirty percent ask for it. HBOT4Heroes has funded more than 10,783 treatments so far, and every gift moves the next veteran off the waiting list.
