The event is a salute to MTSU student veterans and their families and serves as a fundraiser for the center’s Veterans Transitioning Home Office, which helps student veterans move from campus to careers.

“We had so many of our alumni and community that wanted to be a part of last year’s special night (that) we decided to offer individual tickets for sale for this year’s celebration,” said Shane Smith, assistant director of the Daniels Center.

“We will be showing the impact of student veterans on the campus of MTSU, plus having great food, drinks and entertainment by Mr. Charlie Daniels.”

Individual tickets are $200, and a two-ticket combo is available for $300. You can buy tickets, which are limited, at www.mtsu.edu/veteranimpact.

Smith said full and half-tables are also available for companies and people to buy.

At the inaugural event in 2018, supporters raised more than $170,000 for the Veterans Center, Smith said., including a $100,000 donation from Daniels’ Journey Home Project.
