BRACE Celebrates Resilience at Inaugural Storms & Stars Soiree

Sep 16

On August 23, 2025, BRACE held its first Storms & Stars Soiree, at the Pensacola Country Club, a night dedicated to celebrating resilience and community strength. More than 100 guests gathered for an inspiring evening featuring keynote remarks from captain Chandra Newman, commanding Officer of NAS Pensacola, and live music from local guitarist Jim Armstrong.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and the commitment of our sponsors and partners, the Soiree raised vital funds to expand disaster preparedness efforts across Escambia County. Every contribution, whether through tickets, sponsorships, donations, or shared encouragement, helps BRACE equip families, train volunteers, and build a stronger community.
