Special Event

Los Angeles Air Force Base USSF Gala - Support Volunteers

October 19, 2024

04:45 PM - 11:00 PM PDT

Orange County Platoon

Event overview

TMC Los Angeles and Orange County platoons will be providing support to the 61st Force Support Squadron Military & Family Readiness Center red carpet gala at the LA Air Force Base. At the gala active duty service members will celebrate the 5th anniversary of the U.S. Space Force. TMC volunteers are needed to help make the event a success and will fill support roles such as checking in guests, acting as fake paparazzi on the red carpet, helping as servers and table runners, and we are looking for two experienced photographers to man the photo station. Volunteers will be required to wear semi-formal attire of black pants and a white or black top.

The event begins at 5pm and ends at 11pm. Volunteers are requested for several positions, including:

Check-in guests and then act as runners for table assistance (4 slots)

Buffet Servers (10 slots)

Fake Paparazzi's (8 slots)

Experienced Photographer (for real photos, 2 slots)

DRESS CODE: All volunteers will be required to wear a white or black shirt and black pants (note the event is formal). All volunteers must pass a background check to gain access to the base. A week prior to the event a POC will reach out for volunteers name, DOB, and last four to coordinate a base pass. Come out and help us assist the base to put on a memorable gala for our local active duty service members.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
