ARLINGTON, TX — The Airpower Foundation is set to throw one of the biggest patriotic celebrations of the year, marking the 250th birthdays of the United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Sky Ball XXIII, set for October 25, 2025, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, will combine top-tier entertainment, heartfelt tributes, and unapologetic American pride.
According to the foundation, the event will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with a five-star gourmet dinner prepared by celebrity chef Robert Irvine and his all-veteran culinary team. These are not Hollywood “veterans” from a film set, but instead actual veterans who know how to serve a meal with the same precision they served their country.
Country music legend Neal McCoy will headline the night’s entertainment, bringing his trademark energy and patriotism to a crowd that won’t need coaxing to stand for the national anthem. McCoy, known for his unwavering support of the military, will perform for an audience of servicemembers, veterans, and proud Americans who understand that freedom isn’t free.
In true Sky Ball fashion, the evening will feature moments that go beyond the glitter of a gala. Highlights include:
-
A brand-new vehicle giveaway to local active-duty service members
-
A custom portrait presentation to the Gold Star family of a fallen Navy SEAL from North Texas
-
A live Oath of Enlistment ceremony for over 60 new military recruits, officially welcoming them into the ranks
-
Additional tributes designed to remind everyone why our armed forces deserve more than a passing “thank you”
For more than 25 years, the Airpower Foundation has worked to support active duty, Reserve, and National Guard members, along with veterans and their families. This isn’t a charity chasing trends; it’s a mission-driven nonprofit funding programs for those who put their lives on the line every day in service of the principles our country was founded upon.
In an age when some activists want to tear down the very institutions that keep them safe, Sky Ball stands as a visible reminder that the United States is still home to people who will stand, salute, and mean it.
Sky Ball XXIII will run from 5:30 to 10:00 p.m. at Globe Life Field, 734 Stadium Drive, Arlington, Texas. More information is available at airpowerfoundation.org.
