DatocWitten Group, Inc. has partnered with the USO on event production and fundraising since 2010. DatocWitten provides event logistics support and seamlessly produces the annual  USO Gala and awards program. The USO Gala is a stunning event in which service members from each branch of the military are honored, and awards are presented  to the USO Volunteer of the Year as well as individuals who embody the Spirit of the USO.  DatocWitten Group recruits high profile committee members for the events and engages these individuals in fundraising and “friend raising” efforts.  The USO Gala  includes representation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and celebrity performances and attracts more than 1000 guests for a seated dinner.  Over the last three years the USO Gala has seen a 34% increase in funds raised, including a record-breaking campaign in 2012, which smashed all previous benchmarks for total dollars raised by a single gala. USO has re-engaged DatocWitten Group, Inc. to execute the 2013 fundraising event.
