Thank you to our 2026 Sponsor
The Greater Pensacola Chamber’s Military Morale Committee, presented by PenAir Credit Union, is committed to supporting military service members and their families while strengthening connections between the military and civilian communities. Through special events, volunteer efforts, and community partnerships, the committee enhances quality of life and provides meaningful support to those who serve.
In October, when hundreds of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay families were temporarily relocated to NAS Pensacola ahead of Hurricane Melissa, PenAir and the Military Morale Committee helped organize a special Trunk-or-Treat event for more than 350 attendees. This effort reflects Pensacola’s ongoing commitment to honoring and supporting our military community.
