Volunteers Needed for the 2026 Heroes Gala | Be Part of the Mission
The 2026 Heroes Gala is more than an event. It’s a mission moment. A night where community, service, and purpose collide to fuel life-changing programs for our nation’s military members, veterans, first responders, and families.
Thank You, Northwest Arkansas—and Beyond
Because of you, NWA Gives 2026 made an impact that reaches far beyond a single day.
Your generosity, your shares, your belief in this mission—it all adds up to something powerful. At Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA), that power translates into real outcomes for military members, veterans, first responders, and their families walking the path toward posttraumatic growth.
Simply put: you helped move the mission forward.
More Than a Moment—A Movement
NWA Gives may be a 24-hour giving event, but the ripple effect lasts all year.
As a fully online giving platform, NWA Gives allows supporters from anywhere in the country to engage with organizations rooted in Northwest Arkansas. And for SDIA, that matters—because while our roots are local, our impact is national.
Even more important: NWA Gives continues year-round, meaning the opportunity to support the mission doesn’t end when the clock runs out.
