📣 An Important Update from The Naperville Salute

Following careful deliberation, organizers have made the difficult decision not to hold The Naperville Salute this summer. Unfortunately, we fell short of our fundraising goal and as a result cannot provide the same level of programming our Hometown Heroes and local community deserve.

While this decision was not made lightly, the team remains deeply proud of what The Salute has represented—honoring our Veterans, supporting local organizations, and bringing the Naperville community together in celebration.

The Salute Charitable Organization will continue to provide logistical support for the Naperville Responds for Veterans Ruck March event this summer. Please be on the lookout for additional details.

We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from our volunteers, sponsors, partners, and attendees. The spirit of The Salute lives on, and we look forward to sharing what’s next.

We look forward to celebrating and honoring our Veterans, Military, and First Responders in 2026.

Thank you for being part of this journey. ❤️🤍💙

💙 Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day — a time to recognize the incredible commitment, strength, and sacrifice of those who serve alongside our nation’s heroes.

Military spouses may not wear the uniform, but their support is essential to our service members and their families. From holding down the fort during deployments to building community wherever they go, we are grateful for all you do.

Thank you for your courage, grace, and unwavering support!
