About this Event
11th Annual Veterans Recognition Luncheon
Monday, November 9, 2026 (11:30am – 1:30pm) | San Mateo Elk's Lodge | Free Admission
Join the San Mateo County Veterans Commission for the 11th Annual Veterans Recognition Luncheon, a special celebration honoring the extraordinary individuals and organizations whose dedication, service, and commitment make a lasting impact on veterans and the San Mateo County community.
This annual event brings together veterans, families, community leaders, and supporters to recognize three distinguished honorees:
- Veteran of the Year: Recognizes a veteran who continues to demonstrate exceptional service, leadership, and dedication to the San Mateo County community.
- Patriot of the Year: Honors a non-veteran whose outstanding commitment and contributions have positively impacted the lives of veterans and their families.
- Enterprise of the Year: Recognizes a business or organization that demonstrates exceptional service, generosity, and commitment to supporting the community.
The luncheon is an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of service, recognize those who go above and beyond, and express our gratitude to individuals and organizations making a meaningful difference.
This event is FREE and open to the community. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this year's distinguished honorees!
As we come together to honor the outstanding veterans and community members who make a difference in San Mateo County, we invite you to consider making a donation to the San Mateo County Veterans Fund.
Your generous contributions help support events such as the annual Veteran of the Year celebration, holiday gatherings for veterans in need, and other initiatives that recognize and support those who have served our nation.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. Thank you for helping us honor and support our veterans!
