The Honor Foundation
Hosts Fourth Annual Gala in Houston to
Support Special Operations Forces
Transitioning to Civilian Life
HOUSTON, TX – November 1,
2024
– The Honor Foundation (THF), a
nonprofit career transition program
dedicated to supporting U.S. Special
Operations Forces (SOF), successfully
hosted its Fourth Annual Gala in Houston
at The C. Baldwin, downtown. This event
raised critical funds to prepare SOF
members transitioning from military to
civilian life, showcasing the
foundation's commitment to helping these
elite warriors become the next
generation of corporate and
community leaders.
Leading the helm of this
event was H. Malcolm Stewart and THF’s
Houston Steering Committee—comprising
Malcolm Stewart, Frank Muller, Chris
Schilling, Natallia Ornelas, Pat
Strawbridge, Dick Davis, and Ruben
Arriaga—the evening honored the service
and sacrifices of our nation’s elite
warriors.
Over 300 guests came to
hear the featured keynote speaker, The
Honorable Michael R. Pompeo, the 70th
Secretary of State (2018-2021) and the
Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency (2017-2018). Attendees enjoyed an
evening filled with entertainment,
cocktails, a seated dinner, and direct
experiences shared by SOF warriors. The
event also included a silent auction,
live auction, and the "fund-a-cause"
initiative to further support The Honor
Foundation's mission.
“This gala not only
celebrates the extraordinary dedication
of our Special Operations Forces but
also supports their crucial transition
to civilian life,” said Stewart. “Our
warriors deserve the tools and training
to navigate this significant change, and
The Honor Foundation is proud to provide
that support.”
The Honor Foundation’s
program is designed to help SOF members
overcome the challenges they face during
their transition, offering tailored
executive education, one-on-one
coaching, and access to a nationwide
professional network. With nearly 3,000
graduates and campuses across the
country, THF empowers these outstanding
individuals to realize their maximum
potential during and after their service
careers.
