Join the 2026 JSAB Planning Committee!
About the Joint Service Academy Ball
The Joint Service Academy Ball (JSAB) is more than a gala; it is a 25-year tradition of honor, unity, and celebration for our cadets and midshipmen. Hosting this event at the National Museum of the United States Army on December 20th is a massive undertaking, and we need a diverse team to bring it to life.
We are currently looking for volunteers to lead or support the following areas. Please let us know which "bucket" interests you:
- Sponsorships & Fundraising: Help us partner with local businesses and organizations to keep ticket prices accessible for our students.
- Creative & Decor: Help design the look and feel of the evening, from floral arrangements to the formal program and "swag bags."
- Hospitality & Outreach: Coordinate with the other four academies, manage the guest list, and lead the check-in team on the night of the ball.
- Communications: Help us get the word out through social media, email newsletters, and local academy networks.
- Logistics & Operations: Work behind the scenes on venue coordination, seating charts, and the "run of show."
- Multimedia: Help coordinate photography, videography, or the traditional slideshow featuring our cadets and midshipmen.
No experience is necessary—just a willing heart to serve those who are preparing to serve.
