Where nature meets courage, and giving becomes a legacy.
Imagine a world where every veteran finds solace in nature's embrace, experiences camaraderie through sports, and feels the sense of teamwork and accomplishment they carried through service.
We envision a tapestry of shared stories, laughter around campfires, and bonds forged under open skies.
Together, we'll create forests of healing, rivers of connection, and mountains of possibility — one veteran, one family, one community at a time.
We wrap our veterans in understanding and empathy — meeting them where they are, honoring what they've carried, and walking with them toward healing.
Like mighty oaks, we stand strong together. The same strength that carried them through service carries us forward — side by side, unbreakable.
We honor their sacrifice with unwavering appreciation — not just in words, but through every program, every event, and every hand extended in service to those who served.
The Inaugural Jules Gatica Memorial Gala is a night to honor, celebrate and pay tribute to current and former military members in memory of USMC veteran Juliana Gatica.
Gatica was a beloved member of the San Antonio community whose life was cut too short in a fatal accident. She dedicated herself to supporting fellow veterans and inspired the founders and supporters of Intrepid Care to keep her memory alive in the spirit in which she lived.
The evening will feature a buffet dinner, music, casino games, and live and silent auctions at Pedrotti’s Ranch. Attire is country dress or your party best – we want everyone to be comfortable and enjoy the evening.
Please join us on November 15 to support veterans and honor the memory of Jules Gatica. If you are unable to attend, please consider providing an opportunity for local San Antonio veterans through sponsorship of a veteran table. The sponsorship package, table options and other support opportunities are included in the attached.
