You’re Invited to the Freedom Gala: Freedom’s Next 250 Years

Join Goldwater for the 2026 Freedom Gala on October 23, 2026, at the Arizona Biltmore.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this year’s gala looks boldly to the future — honoring the victories we’ve secured for liberty nationwide while imagining what the fight for freedom can achieve over the next 250 years.

We’re thrilled to welcome special guest Adam Carolla, comedian, actor, radio personality, television host, and New York Times bestselling author. Carolla currently hosts The Adam Carolla Show, which holds the Guinness World Record for “most downloaded podcast” and receives more than 30 million downloads each month. Carolla has regularly appeared on Fox News, The Daily Wire, and co-starred with Dennis Prager in the documentary No Safe Spaces about free speech and campus culture.

Carolla first rose to national prominence as co-host of the syndicated radio program Loveline alongside Dr. Drew Pinsky, before co-creating and starring in hit shows on Comedy Central, expanding beyond television, film, and publishing, and becoming a New York Times bestselling author and documentary producer. In addition to hosting his daily show, Carolla continues to headline theaters and comedy venues nationwide with his signature brand of common-sense comedy.

Join us as we celebrate the enduring principles of freedom — and the work still ahead to ensure every American can live freer, happier lives.

We are grateful for your support of the Goldwater Institute’s efforts to advance and defend liberty throughout the United States. For over 36 years, we’ve been defending the rights of Americans to live their lives free from government interference.

And Goldwater is unique in that we direct our efforts to the 50 states where we introduce and advance innovative ideas that expand freedom. And we fight in courtrooms and capitals nationwide to defend individual liberty.

In 2024 alone, we scored over 50 policy and litigation victories defending liberty!

And that’s just the beginning.

Our plans for 2025 include:

  • Stopping pernicious DEI and other woke programs in America’s universities.
  • Ensuring that patients suffering from rare and terminal diseases have access to cutting-edge, lifesaving medical treatments, without having to first seek permission from the government.
  • Defending parental rights across the United States so that parents can send their kids to the school that best fits their needs, free from leftist indoctrination.
  • Eliminating government interference in the fundamental right of individuals to own property and use it as they see fit.
  • And much, much more

We seek to restore the presumption of liberty; that people are free to act without first asking permission from the government.

But we cannot do this without you. Will you join us as we fight to preserve and advance liberty throughout the country? As we seek new and innovative ways to defend freedom in all 50 states?

And there’s great news: Thanks to a generous Goldwater supporter, your donation today will be doubled!

So please, join us in fighting to advance liberty and score real wins for freedom from coast to coast!
