Sponsorship Information:

We invite you to be a part of this exciting national event by becoming an individual or corporate/organizational sponsor. Committed volunteers through our local and national sponsorships are essential in providing a memorable experience for those Veterans participating in the Games. If you are unable to be in attendance, but would still like to contribute, you may make a financial or in-kind donation that will be acknowledged at the commensurate sponsorship level as identified in the 2018 NVGAG Sponsorship Packet. You may submit your sponsorship commitment by completing the 2018 NVGAG Sponsorship Form.

Health & Wellness Expo:

The annual National Veterans Golden Age Games Health & Wellness Expo promotes our motto of “Fitness for Life” to approximately 800 senior American Veterans and many VA clinicians who attend the Games. The Expo enhances the athlete experience and provides you with an interactive opportunity to feature a sampling of various demonstrations, displays and products that can help our senior Veterans maintain their active lifestyles. For more information and/or if you are interested in serving as an exhibitor for the 2018 NVGAG Health & Wellness Expo, to be held on August 4, 2018 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Albuquerque Convention Center, please reference the 2018 NVGAG Expo Vendor Packet.

Volunteers donating their time and talents are essential to the success of the National Veterans Golden Age Games. Several opportunities are available to help with everything from sporting events to hospitality services. Events will take place at the Albuquerque Convention Center and surrounding community venues, to include the Albuquerque International Sunport Airport and downtown Albuquerque hotels. Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian for the entire duration of the volunteer shift.

We look forward to your support of our Nation’s senior Veterans during the “Games of Enchantment”!
