As advertised, Dec. 5 was a night full of wonder that brought 266 perfectly coiffed guests out to The Ora for a night of stories celebrating hope and resilience to support The Florida Center for Early Childhood at its second annual Wonder Gala.
A "wonder wall" served as a backdrop to the event. Featuring photos and stories of families whose lives have been impacted by the Florida Center's programs, the wall left hardly a dry eye in the ballroom.
Vocalist Allison Nash performed for attendees, who also enjoyed a silent auction and showcased their generosity during a paddle raise. Dance enthusiasts got to their feet to the live sounds of the Soul Sensations.
With a steadfast commitment to the well-being of the region's youngest children, the gala raises funds to support The Florida Center for Early Childhood's mission to provide early education, developmental therapies, mental health services and overall support for families who are navigating challenges.Â
