Red Oak Victory 80th Anniversary Fundraiser

November 9 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Support the Ship and Celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the launch of the Red Oak Victory. Dinner, Dancing, Live Music and More!

Give a gift to Red Oak Victory on her birthday!

Eighty years ago, USS Red Oak Victory was launched down the ways at Kaiser-Richmond Shipyard No. 1. Shortly thereafter, she was commissioned as a US Navy fleet ammunition carrier, AK-235, and served in the Pacific Theater in World War II. Now she is the last surviving product of the Kaiser-Richmond shipyards and a museum ship serving as a historical resource for the Bay Area and the country as a whole. To celebrate our historic ship’s past, we’re giving you an opportunity to make a big difference in her future.

Help raise funds for Red Oak Victory’s future!

On November 9 (the actual date that Red Oak Victory was launched), we’re sponsoring a fundraiser featuring a first-class dinner, dancing, and live 1940s swing music by well-known Bay Area star Nick Rossi. This memorable evening will take place on Red Oak Victory and is just $100 per plate ($108.55 with ticketing fees) or $600 for a table for six ($642.09 with ticketing fees). The money you spend for this dinner-dance fundraiser goes to support Red Oak Victory and her parent organization, the Richmond Museum Association, which is also celebrating its 70th Anniversary.

Not only will you enjoy dinner and dancing but the ship will be open for tours as well. You’ll be able to visit the bridge, the captain’s quarters, the original radio room, the deck guns, and even peer down into the engine room.

You don’t want to miss the maritime party of the year and chance to support a worthy cause that preserves our important Bay Area history! Follow the ticket link to purchase your advance tickets today!
