The Imperial Valley 9/11 Committee will host the first-ever Public Safety Gala on Friday, October 3, 2025.

The Gala is designed to be a community-wide event to honor and recognize the silent heroes who serve and protect our region every day. The theme is " Desert Knights", paying tribute to first responders who stand as modern day knights, ready to protect, defend, and serve with courage and honor. The event will be held at the Casa de Mana Building on the California Mid-Winter Fairgrounds starting at 6:00 p.m. More information is available on the web at iv911 dot org.
