Turning the Invisible Into the Visible

 

2025 Silent No More Gala

a Celebration of Hope and Caring

WHEN: Saturday, June 14

~ 5:00-7:30 PM

WHERE: Holiday Inn

Research Park

On June 14, 2025, 5:00 – 7:30 at the Holiday Inn Research Park, join Invisible Warriors and help us give women veterans a voice. The Silent No More Gala will be raising funds for MST retreats, creating safe spaces for healing and connection. With your support, we can stand with women veterans facing PTSD, MST, and other invisible wounds.

We have great keynote speakers lined up as well as the Twickenham Jazz Band to perform for us all through the evening. Plus there will be a silent auction with amazing gifts to bid on and yummy hors d’oeuvres to snack on.

Dignitaries will also be on hand to issue a new proclamation honoring Women Veterans Recognition Day, making Alabama the 21st state to recognize the 1948 Women’s Armed Services Integration Act.

Women Veterans Recognition Day, observed annually on June 12, honors the contributions of female veterans, often seen as “Invisible Warriors.” Alabama’s proclamation highlights their unique challenges and achievements, ensuring they receive the respect and support they deserve. This recognition fosters community appreciation for the dedication of women who served in the military.

Help us give women veterans a voice. The “Silent No More” Gala raises funds for MST retreats, creating safe spaces for healing and connection.

With your support, we can stand with women veterans facing PTSD, MST, and other invisible wounds.

Thank you for making a difference!

What does life look like living with an ongoing invisible illness?

Each year, Invisible Warriors runs an Art Contest fundraiser. By participating, you provide hope and help for women with autoimmune disorders, ongoing illnesses, and invisible disabilities, especially women veterans suffering from MST and PTSD.
 
We invite you to submit your artwork and donation to support Invisible Warriors to help meet their needs – physical, mental, and emotional – so they can thrive, not just survive.
Here’s how the contest works
Take pictures or create art of “real life”—people living every day with some chronic illness—and submit it with a $25 donation to Invisible Warriors. Photos, drawings, and paintings are all accepted. (NOTE: you’ll need to submit a photo of any drawings/paintings.)
For more information or to submit a photo or your artwork
Click the Go To Art Contest button below and follow the instructions on the website about how to create your contest page. Then invite people to vote for your entry by sharing your new page. Each vote is only $1. The top twelve winning submissions will be featured on a custom 2025 calendar, our website, and our social media.

Join this peer support group via Zoom where women feel loved, supported, valued, and worthwhile.
Special guests, discussions, and training on living with ongoing illnesses and autoimmune disorders provide a sense of not being alone. We talk about  all things life and ongoing invisible illnesses, especially things that help our women veterans. These conversations are always designed to be kind and uplifting — never  moaning and groaning. Find yourself encouraged and learning something new like Michelle Marikos’ “Difficult Day Box” concept.
