Join us for a powerful evening celebrating service, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of the USS Silversides—one of the most successful submarines of World War II.
V is for Victory: Salute to Silversides is more than a fundraiser—it’s a tribute to those who served beneath the waves and a call to preserve their stories for generations to come.
Dive into history with drinks, dinner, music, and a program highlighting the courage of our veterans, the commitment of our community, and the vital mission of the USS Silversides Submarine Museum. Every dollar raised helps maintain and dry dock this historic vessel, ensuring her hull remains strong and her story lives on.
Your support is a salute.
To the heroes of the past. To education and remembrance. To victory.
The evening will include dinner, drinks and entertainment, and one Sponsor will have the honor of starting the engines on the USS Silversides submarine.
The USS Silversides Submarine Museum is proud to partner with the Lorraine F. and Fred S. Bertsch Jr. Foundation to offer a scholarship opportunity for the West Michigan area. This foundation supports education at the college or trade school level, encouraging service to community, state, and country.
