- **Event Name**: 2026 You Have My Heart Gala
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The 2026 First Responder Support Gala is our signature annual event and the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts for the year. This meaningful evening brings together community leaders, businesses, and residents to honor the firefighters, EMTs, emergency telecommunications professionals, and law enforcement officers who serve Boone County and its municipalities with courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

This Gala directly fuels the programs and services of First Responder Support, allowing us to strengthen goodwill between first responders and the community, increase awareness of the realities faced on the front lines, and provide meaningful relief and support to those who serve. Simply put, without the commitment of our community partners and sponsors, this mission would not be possible.

Sponsorships play a vital role in the success of this event and offer a powerful opportunity for businesses and organizations to stand visibly beside our local heroes. From premier recognition opportunities to heartfelt impact, every sponsorship level helps ensure our first responders and their families know they are valued, supported, and never alone.

General admission tickets are also available for those who wish to be part of this unforgettable night. Purchasing tickets early helps secure the resources needed to support our mission throughout the year and allows us to plan an evening that truly honors those we serve.

Join us on Friday, February 13, 2026, for an inspiring night of gratitude, connection, and purpose. Whether through sponsorship or attendance, your support helps deliver a lasting message of hope, resilience, and appreciation to the first responders who protect our community every day. Doors will open at 5:30 PM, with an extended cocktail hour to enjoy before the program begins at 7:00 PM.
