# Event Details - **Event Name**: "Light the Path - No One Walks Alone" March 7, 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: 2026 VCTF Gala Light the Path: No One Walks Alone On Saturday, March 7, 2026 • Kalahari Resort – Wisconsin Dells Light the Path is more than a theme — it is a promise. A promise that no veteran, no survivor, and no family will ever have to navigate hardship alone. This year’s Gala brings together voices whose courage, advocacy, and leadership illuminate the challenges and victories within the veteran community. Join us for an unforgettable evening of purpose, connection, and celebration. FEATURED GUEST SPEAKERS SHANNON HOUGH — Founder, Shield of Sisters Survivor • Advocate • Truth Teller • Builder of Brave Spaces Shannon Hough transformed her own experience as a survivor of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) into a national movement of healing and connection. Through Shield of Sisters, she built a community where survivors can finally exhale — a place where women are believed, supported, and surrounded by others who understand the journey. Shannon speaks with honesty, courage, and a fire that ignites the room. She reminds us that: • Healing is possible • Truth matters • Silence is not protection — connection is Shannon embodies the heart of Light the Path – No One Walks Alone. She is not just a guest — she is a truth teller who lights the path for others to follow. TRAVIS WEST — Veteran & Founding Partner, West & Dunn Legal Advocate • Champion for Justice Travis West, has spent years fighting for veterans who were denied benefits, dismissed by systems, or left to navigate complex legal barriers alone. His work has restored dignity, stability, and hope to countless service members across Wisconsin and beyond. He represents the strength of partnership — the belief that when expertise, compassion, and purpose come together, barriers fall and veterans rise. Travis is not just a legal expert — he is a protector of those who protected us. JAMES MERCADO — President, ProVisor Business Leader • Community Connector • Advocate for Veteran Stability James Mercado leads ProVisor with integrity, collaboration, and a deep respect for service. For years, ProVisor has quietly supported veterans through financial education, coaching, and long term planning — helping many build stronger foundations and even purchase homes. James embodies what it means to walk beside, not ahead. His presence reinforces the truth that no single organization can do this work alone. WHY THIS NIGHT MATTERS Because every veteran’s path is different — but no one should walk it alone. Because community changes everything. Because when people step forward, healing begins. Because rural veterans deserve stability, dignity, and connection. This Gala is where stories become sparks, and sparks become change.
