Transforming Lives Through Elegance and Empowerment

Start with the Right Plan

Our annual gala, held in the grand ballroom of THE GROVE in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, is designed to make every girl feel like a star. Each attendee is provided with a beautiful gown, light make-up, and hairstyling, all thanks to our dedicated volunteers. This event is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and building confidence.

The gala is an evening of elegance and empowerment. As the girls walk into the beautifully decorated ballroom, they are greeted with warmth and encouragement. The event features dynamic speakers who share inspirational stories, educational segments on overcoming adversity, and performances by local talents. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where every girl can feel valued and empowered.

Empowerment Through Celebration

Educational and Inspirational Program

While the gala is a night of celebration, it also serves as an educational platform. We share important information about domestic violence, self-care, and healthy relationships. Through storytelling and expert speakers, we aim to educate the attendees on recognizing and overcoming challenges, fostering a sense of resilience and self-worth.

A Community Effort

The success of our gala is a testament to the power of community. Local businesses, salons, and volunteers come together to provide gowns, make-up, and hairstyling services. We also offer a chef-inspired buffet style meal at no cost to the attendees, ensuring that the evening is as memorable as it is meaningful.
