About CPO Pride Day Jax

---

CPO Pride Day Jacksonville is one of Northeast Florida’s premier Navy heritage events, bringing together active-duty, Reserve, retired, and veteran Chief Petty Officers in a powerful display of leadership, mentorship, tradition, and service.

What began as a local gathering rooted in Chief Petty Officer pride has grown into a major annual event that unites the CPO Mess across commands, generations, and communities. Each year, CPO Pride Day JAX provides Chief Selectees and Chief Petty Officers the opportunity to network, reconnect with shipmates, receive leadership insight, celebrate Navy heritage, and give back to the veteran and military community that continues to support our Sailors and families.

As we prepare for the 12th Annual CPO Pride Day Jacksonville, this event remains focused on one mission: honoring the legacy of the United States Navy Chief Petty Officer while helping shape the leaders who will carry that legacy forward.

CPO Pride Day Jacksonville is planned, coordinated, and executed by a dedicated team of volunteer Chief Petty Officers, retired Chiefs, veterans, and community supporters who believe in preserving the heritage of the CPO Mess.

Our committee represents the very best of the Navy Chief community: service before self, pride in tradition, commitment to excellence, and a deep desire to give back. Every detail of this event is made possible through months of planning, coordination, sponsorship outreach, volunteer support, and partnership with organizations that believe in the mission.

From event logistics and registration to sponsorships, mentorship, ceremonies, vendor coordination, community outreach, and charitable giving, every part of CPO Pride Day JAX is built by volunteers who understand the importance of honoring those who came before us while preparing those who will lead next.

As we move toward the 12th Annual CPO Pride Day Jacksonville, our focus remains clear: honor the past, lead in the present, and shape the future.

Each year, the event continues to grow in purpose, professionalism, and community impact. With the support of our volunteers, sponsors, partners, and the CPO Mess, CPO Pride Day JAX will continue to serve as a cornerstone event during CPO Heritage Week and a proud reflection of the Navy Chief community in Northeast Florida.

We invite commands, CPO Messes, Chief Selectees, retired Chiefs, veterans, sponsors, vendors, and community partners to join us as we continue building on more than a decade of tradition, service, and leadership.

CPO Pride Day JAX is where heritage meets mentorship, where the Mess comes together, and where the next generation of Chiefs is reminded that the anchor is not just worn — it is lived.
