2025 AF Annual Gala & Awards Showcase!

Grab your flip phones, Lipsmackers, and disposable cameras! The America’s Future Annual Gala and Awards Showcase is an ode to our founding year – 1995!
Celebrate our 30th birthday on the ~*actual*~ date, May 22, 2025, with us at AutoShop at Union Market in Washington for a fantastic evening of fun, friends, fancy dress, and the induction of the newest members of the 1995 Society.
For more than two decades, the AF Annual Gala has allowed civic-minded change-makers and local leaders nationwide to come together to celebrate and look forward to another exciting year.
Dress your best for the red carpet and photo booth, enjoy the open bar (not to mention a VIP bar for special guests), mingle on the patio, get nostalgic with some 90’s arcade games, and before the night is over, kick off your shoes to tear up the dance floor!
Don’t miss your chance to clink glasses with fellow inspirational young leaders from across the country and celebrate an outstanding year of liberty! Check out photos from past Galas here and here!
