Join us for Shield of Hope 2026, one of The Salvation Army’s most impactful and anticipated fundraising events of the year. This family-friendly evening brings together longtime supporters, new friends, and community partners who believe in offering hope, dignity, and life-changing support to individuals and families in need.

At Shield of Hope, you’ll experience an immersive impact video highlighting the work The Salvation Army carries out 365 days a year—real stories, real lives, and real transformation. The video will feature powerful testimonies from individuals and families whose lives have been touched through our programs and services.

You’ll also enjoy a live performance by The Chase Tyler Band, our featured entertainment for the evening. Known for their high-energy shows and unmatched stage presence, The Chase Tyler Band is one of the Gulf Coast’s most in-demand acts. Chase Tyler—two-time inductee into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame (2011 & 2019)—brings exceptional vocal ability, commanding performance, and a signature blend of Southern Rock, Country, Swamp Pop, and dance favorites. Together with his remarkable band of standout musicians, Chase has shared the stage with many of today’s top country and rock artists, released three full studio albums, and continues to win audiences across the region as he prepares for his fourth highly anticipated album. Their dynamic sound and incredible energy will make this an unforgettable night of entertainment and celebration.

The evening will also include a silent auction and an exciting paddle raise, giving every guest the opportunity to directly fuel the mission and help provide the critical resources needed to sustain our programs. Every bid, every raised paddle, and every ticket purchased helps us continue offering practical help and the message of hope to those who need it most in our community.

Whether it’s your first Shield of Hope or you join us year after year, we invite you to be part of an inspiring night filled with purpose, compassion, and the shared belief that together, we can continue doing the most good.
