We Need Your Support

Hello Fleet Week Fanatics!

We are so excited to be hosting another year of amazing programs and events! We wanted to take them time to say THANK YOU for your continued support over the years!

It is because of our loyal fans like you and the generous donations you all make that Fleet Week is able to put on an incredible week of events. However, Fleet Week is more than just one week of fun, we take pride in actively participating in our community and creating programs that honor those serving in our nation’s military as well as our nation’s veterans.

This year we want to give back to the amazing schools raising the next generation of kids. In 2019 we were able to donate a total of $30,000 across eight Bay Area High School music programs as part of “The High School Band Challenge!” This year we are hoping to increase that donation, so we turn to our loyal supports like you to help us beat it! Every donation no matter how big or small helps us give back to our community starting with these amazing High School Programs and continuing to the many other programs Fleet Week actively contributes to. These programs include:

• The Honor Our Fallen Tribute Concert
• Fleet Week’s celebration of K9 heroes
• Social and sporting activities for visiting service members
• Fleet Week’s Center for Humanitarian Assistance
• Education programs for joint civilian/military disaster response missions
• Community-focused events, such as visits by the troops to senior centers and food banks
