Dear ROCKS Family and Friends,

Tickets are officially on sale for the Washington DC Chapter’s 51st Annual West A. Hamilton Brunch!

Join us on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 12:00–4:00 PM at Fort Belvoir Golf Club as we come together for A DC ROCKS Homecoming — Legacy. Connection. The Next Generation.

Purchase Tickets at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/dcr-51st-annual-west-a-hamilton-brunch

West Hamilton is more than a brunch. It is one of our chapter’s signature fundraising events, helping us raise the resources needed to provide scholarships, mentorship, professional development, and opportunities for the next generation of military leaders.

Last year, the DC Chapter awarded five $1,000 scholarships to ROTC cadets, and we want to make an even greater impact this year. Your ticket purchase helps us continue that work while bringing together generations of ROCKS, junior officers, cadets, friends, and supporters for an afternoon of fellowship and connection.

Early Bird Tickets — First 20 Purchasers

To kick off ticket sales, we are offering a special Early Bird rate to the first 20 purchasers through October 2. Once those 20 tickets are sold—or after October 2—regular ticket pricing will apply.

Can’t attend? You can still make an impact. The same registration page allows you to:

• Make a donation to support our fundraising efforts.
• Sponsor a cadet or junior officer to attend West Hamilton and connect with ROCKS members and senior leaders.
• Purchase your own ticket and sponsor someone from the next generation to join you.

And the fundraising won’t stop with ticket sales. Our West Hamilton Silent Auction will open the week leading up to the brunch, giving everyone an opportunity to bid and support the chapter—even if you cannot attend in person. More information about auction items and bidding will be coming soon.

This year’s message is simple: Bring One Home. Bring One Forward.

Reconnect a ROCK who hasn’t been around in a while. Bring a junior officer or cadet forward. And help us ensure that West Hamilton continues to generate the resources necessary to invest in those who will lead after us.

We look forward to welcoming you home on November 14.
