Qorvis Hosts Helping a Hero Veterans at Exclusive Butterworth’s Reception
Veterans Honored at White House Correspondents’ Weekend Event
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, May 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Helping a Hero, a Texas-based nonprofit dedicated to providing specially adapted homes for severely wounded, was proud to be a part of the 2025 White House Correspondents’ Dinner festivities, thanks to the generous support from Qorvis, the strategic communications and advisory firm headquartered in Washington, D.C.
The April 26 reception at Capitol Hill hotspot Butterworth’s brought together veterans, journalists, and public officials in a bipartisan celebration of service and sacrifice. Notable guests included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Kari Lake, Sean Spicer, and Raheem Kassam, a co-owner of Butterworth’s. The event spotlighted Helping a Hero veterans and home recipients, including Marine veteran Daniel Gilyeat and Army veteran Amon Benjamin, who shared their inspiring personal journeys.
“This event reminded me that we are never alone in our mission,” said Daniel Gilyeat, who lost his leg while serving in Iraq. “Qorvis helped give us a voice in the nation’s capital on a night when media and influencers are paying close attention.”
Amon Benjamin reflected on the night’s importance: “Standing among leaders and storytellers who listened to our experiences gave me a renewed sense of purpose. Helping a Hero changed my life, and I’m glad that I had the chance to share that story with the world.”
Jacob Way, National Fundraising Director for Helping a Hero emphasized the event’s value: “Events like this raise the visibility we need to continue building homes and hope for our wounded heroes.”
As a previous Helping a Hero event, the organization raised more than $800,000 through bidding opportunities to co-host a podcast episode with Steve Bannon. Attendees from the Butterworth’s event will have a first chance to bid on another opportunity, too.
The Butterworth’s gathering continues a growing tradition of involving America’s veterans in meaningful, high-profile civic events and discussions.
