USAA 100th Anniversary

A Centennial Celebration to Remember: USAA’s 100th Anniversary Black-Tie Gala

We had the honor of planning an extraordinary celebration to mark the 100th corporate anniversary of USAA, a milestone that honors a century of service, innovation, and impact. Founded in 1922 by a group of U.S. military officers, USAA has grown into a trusted financial services institution serving millions of military members, veterans, and their families around the world.

The festivities began with a breathtaking black-tie gala on the corporate campus, where we transformed a blank canvas into a night of elegance and wonder. Against the backdrop of USAA’s iconic campus, a stunning tent was built and meticulously adorned for an unforgettable evening — a celebration of legacy, gratitude, and community.

For one thousand distinguished guests, this inaugural night was far more than a formal affair. It was a heartfelt tribute to a company whose values of service and dedication have shaped its first century and will carry it into the next. Every detail — from the dramatic draping to the refined lighting and luxurious décor — was designed to reflect the timeless elegance deserving of a centennial milestone.

As guests arrived in their finest attire, the campus came alive with laughter, toasts, and meaningful reconnections. The atmosphere was rich with emotion: colleagues, partners, and friends gathered to honor a shared history, to celebrate the present, and to look forward to a future built on the same spirit that propelled USAA for 100 years.

This inaugural celebration was just the beginning of a multi-day tribute to a remarkable legacy — a testament to how thoughtful design, heartfelt planning, and inspired creativity can elevate an event into a cherished memory that resonates long after the last toast is made.
