Ignite a Fire. Give Back Now.
Ignite the Heart of Our Culture
The Courage Under Fire Gala is more than one powerful night—it’s a growing movement. At our last event, over 1,200 parents, podcasters, journalists, clergy, creators, activists, and more joined us to hear bold messages of faith from leaders like Fr. Mike Schmitz, Matt Walsh, Harrison Butker, Michael Knowles, Kirk Cameron, and Abby Johnson. Thank you to our sponsors and guests for making it possible. This movement is just beginning—make sure to join us next year.
