This is a celebration with a mission at its heart: every ticket and sponsorship supports Aerial Recovery's continued work across the Américas: anti-human trafficking, the safeguarding of children, and disaster relief, all carried out by teams of military veterans and first responders through our Heal the Heroes community. The evening follows a single light as it leaves Nashville and Miami and travels the map of our work: through México, and into Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Perú, the countries at the heart of this year's celebration. From each, the light branches onward across South America, just as the work does.
We are honored to welcome Global Child "Travel & Purpose" as our partner for 2026. Global Child is an award-winning television series hosted by Augusto Valverde that travels the world telling stories of place and purpose, seen on major U.S. airport screens and streaming platforms worldwide. Their cameras will be with us all night, from El Camino de Luz to the last dance, and the gala will become Global Child Miami Beach, an episode of the series.
What that means for everyone in the room: the mission you support on November 12 will be seen by tens of millions of travelers and viewers, and every sponsor's generosity is amplified far beyond The Bath Club.
This is a proven stage. Global Child's destination episodes have each reached 40 to 100 million travelers, from Dubai to Palm Beach to Qatar, and in November, Miami Beach and this room join that list. The cameras roll from El Camino de Luz to the last dance, with Augusto interviewing guests along the carpet, so come ready for your moment: the night you give becomes a story the world watches.
El Camino de Luz is more than a red carpet: you will walk the impact of Aerial Recovery's work. From 7:00, an arrival lit in gold passes through the missions, rescues and communities behind the night, with photographers and Global Child's cameras along the way. And we invite you to wear your country: the traditional or traditionally inspired dress of your heritage, a piece by a designer or brand from your homeland, or your service uniform. Come ready to share who you are wearing: the cameras will ask. The carpet becomes a running celebration of the Américas' cultures, told through what we wear.
Cocktails and the silent auction open the night. At dinner, the room travels the Route of Light: spotlight films and live stories from each country as its light ignites on screen. Then comes Carry the Light, our Fund a Need, where every pledge visibly extends the route across the hemisphere. We close the way the Américas close every great night: with music and dancing.

Sponsorships from $5,000 to $150,000 carry the light by name, from La Luciérnaga to La Aurora, our presenting sponsorship. Every tier is named for the light it carries; Ilumina el Camino country sponsorships are given in honor of a nation at the heart of our work, one each for the USA, México, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Brasil. And this year, with the gala filmed for television, every sponsor's name travels with the light when it reaches far beyond the room.
Once the light has crossed the map, the room gives together: every pledge, at every level, visibly extends the route across the hemisphere in real time. Matching sponsors from $25,000 pre-commit to double the room's giving and are recognized live from the stage. One match can turn a $250,000 moment into $500,000.
