Celebrate a Night Where Wonder Comes to Life!

Open Bar | Inspired Cuisine | Heartfelt Narratives | Powerful Vocals by Allison Nash | Dancing to Soul Sensations | Live and Silent Auctions | Paddle Raise

Join us for an unforgettable evening of glamour, generosity, and grace. The Florida Center’s 2025 Wonder Gala is more than a celebration – it’s a powerful gathering of community, compassion, and possibility. Enjoy flavorful fare, soulful music, dancing, and dynamic auctions – all set to a backdrop of extraordinary stories that illuminate the resilience of the children and families we serve.

As public funding disappears, your presence becomes part of something far greater: a promise that no child is left behind, and every family has the support they need to thrive. This is a night where hearts open, stories shine, and hope takes center stage.

Dress to shine. Stay for the magic. Give from the heart.

This exciting evening of wonder and celebration takes place at The Ora, 578 McIntosh Rd., Sarasota

You Make the Amazing Happen!

For nearly 45 years, The Florida Center for Early Childhood has been a beacon of hope for thousands of families in our community. We offer prevention and early intervention services to young children at risk of academic, social, and economic challenges. Through our therapeutic programs, children reach key developmental milestones, and parents gain the tools to support their growth. Every day, we witness children thriving, families finding hope, and communities strengthening.

The Wonder Gala is vital to sustaining these transformative programs. Your support will bring hope and brighter futures to local children and families. Together, we make amazing happen!
