“This is my favorite event of the year.”

Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services

At Civic Hall in New York City, Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services hosted our Annual Holiday Reception and Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025, bringing together community leaders, supporters, and veterans in a festive atmosphere. The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the past year, reconnect with partners, and honor those who have made significant contributions to the mission of empowering veterans and military families.

Guests enjoyed an evening filled with camaraderie, seasonal décor, and inspiring stories. The highlight of the reception was the awards presentation, where we recognized outstanding individuals and organizations for their dedicated service and leadership. These honorees exemplify the values and commitment of the Dixon Center, striving to create new opportunities and resources for those who have served our country.

Attendees also had the chance to network, share their experiences, and learn more about the Center’s ongoing programs, projects, and operations. The event underscored the importance of community support and collaboration in addressing the needs of veterans. Dixon Center is grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the evening. We look forward to building on these achievements in the coming year and continuing our advocacy for veterans and military families.
