“Homecoming 250 is more than a commemoration; it’s a living reminder that America’s strength comes from the courage of those who serve and the communities that rally behind them,” said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. “In celebrating the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, we’re reminded that resilience and innovation are not abstract ideals; they are choices made every day in the face of risk. Exiger is proud to serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the Navy 250 Gala, and to sponsor Homecoming 250 along with the broader events honoring America’s Semiquincentennial. Institutions like the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps reflect our own mission and aspirations: honoring sacrifice, building resilience, and ensuring that America and its allies remain strong for the next 250 years.”
“This partnership with Exiger underscores the importance of innovation, resilience, and service—the very values we honor in the Navy and Marine Corps,” said George Leone, President of Homecoming 250. “With Exiger’s support, the Navy 250 Gala will not only pay tribute to 250 years of sacrifice and tradition, but also remind us of what unites us as a nation: the strength of our communities, the courage of those who serve, and Philadelphia’s enduring place in America’s maritime story.”
