About the Event
An Evening Worth Celebrating
The Victory Center's Celebrity Wait Night is back in Defiance — and this year, we're trading in the Las Vegas glam for something a little more tropical. Join us for an unforgettable evening of great food, open bar, live entertainment, and community, all in support of cancer patients and survivors throughout the Defiance region.
Our "celebrity" waiters bring the five-star charm while you enjoy an open bar, raffle prizes, games, and the incredible networking that has made this event a Defiance favorite. Plus, this year we're celebrating a milestone: the airing of our 30th Anniversary video — a powerful tribute to three decades of hope, compassion, and connection.

Why It Matters
Supporting Our Defiance Community
The Victory Center opened a satellite location inside Defiance ProMedica Regional Hospital in February 2024, bringing a full range of free programs and services closer to home for cancer patients and survivors in the region.
All evening proceeds go directly to those services — including support group meetings, which TVC can fund for an entire year for just $1,000. Every tip, ticket, and raffle dollar makes a real difference.
