The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the City of Santa Clarita, announced the return of their in-person ‘Salute to Patriots’ event to honor local veterans in November.

The community is invited to the courtyard of the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center to salute local veterans who have served their country during their annual Salute to Patriots Event next month.

Not only recognizing how local veterans have served the country, the event is expected to acknowledge the many impacts patriots have made on the local community at the event on Nov. 9 at 4 p.m.

“Our Salute to Patriots event is one of the most popular Chamber events and we’re pleased to have it  return in person for our community to enjoy,” stated John Vance, chair of the SCV Chamber Board.  “Veterans around the community have sacrificed so much and this recognition is just a small token of  gratitude that the Chamber can offer on behalf of our business community.” 

The onset of the coronavirus pandemic forced last year’s event to be held virtually, so this year’s event is planned to honor last year’s awardees by presenting their certificates in-person alongside the 2021 honorees.

“Each year, we are pleased to receive numerous nominations for veterans around the Santa Clarita Valley  who have not only fought for our freedom, but have given back to the business community,” said Ivan  Volschenk, president and CEO of the SCV Chamber. “The SCV Chamber is proud to partner with the City of Santa Clarita to ensure our veterans are widely recognized and to offer a chance for our full community  to show appreciation.” 

Nominations are officially open until Monday Oct. 25 and forms can be requested by emailing  [email protected] or visiting the event page on their website. 

Nominations are open to all who have served this country and made an impact in the Santa Clarita Valley business community. Candidates running for office during an election year are not eligible.  

Sponsorships are currently available as well and more information can be requested by emailing [email protected].
