“We are proud of this year’s honorees having been selected from a large pool of excellent community nominations,” said Nancy Starczyk, Chair of Board of Directors for the SCV Chamber of Commerce. “The Patriots Luncheon recognizes veterans who have not only sacrificed for this country, but also serve our Valley’s business community.”
 
Veterans were nominated by both chamber members and local residents and then selected by a committee composed of veterans and business leaders.
 
“The Luncheon is a truly unique opportunity to show our respect for those whose service at the community and national level brings so much good into our lives: service that sometimes goes unrecognized,” said Ivan Volschenk, Managing Partner at Evolve Business Strategies. “We hope community members consider spending the afternoon with us as we honor the impact of these extraordinary individuals.”
This year’s title sponsor is Andy Gump.  Additional sponsors include the City of Santa Clarita, FivePoint, Princess Cruises, Wells Fargo, Bayless Manufacturing, The Signal, KHTS Hometown Station, Chiquita Canyon, American Family Funding, Supervisor Kathryn Barger, Eternal Valley Memorial, SCV Veteran’s Memorial Inc. and FastFrame.
