An Evening That Honors Service: Inland Northwest Honor Flight Gala & Casino Night
Written/Narrated by: Ed Bejarana | Published on: January 21, 2026
Every year, the Inland Northwest Honor Flight creates once-in-a-lifetime experiences for veterans by flying them to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor. These trips are powerful, emotional, and often life-changing—for the veterans and for those who accompany them.
One of the key ways this mission is funded is through the Inland Northwest Honor Flight Gala & Casino Night, an elegant evening designed to bring the community together in support of those who served.
What the Gala Is All About
The Gala is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of service, sacrifice, and gratitude. Guests enjoy an upscale evening that blends fun, fellowship, and purpose, all while helping ensure future Honor Flight missions can continue.
Attendees can expect:
- Casino-style and amusement games
- A plated, multi-course dinner
- Live entertainment, music, and dancing
- Stories and moments that highlight the impact of Honor Flight
Throughout the night, participants use “Honor Flight Bucks” to play games and take part in fundraising activities that directly support veteran flights.
Location & Setting
The event is hosted at the beautiful Centennial Hotel – Riverside Ballrooms, providing a formal yet welcoming setting overlooking the Spokane River—perfect for an evening of reflection and celebration.
Why It Matters
Honor Flight trips are provided to veterans at no cost to them. Events like this Gala make that possible. Each ticket purchased, each table sponsored, and each game played helps ensure that more veterans—especially those from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam—get the chance to stand before the memorials that recognize their service.
For many veterans, this may be their first and only opportunity to make that journey.
