Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties Annual "Champions for Children" Gala

Celebrate a Night Where Wonder Comes to Life! The Florida Center for Early Childhood will host its annual Wonder Gala 6:30 p.m. Dec. 4, 2026, the Ora, 578 McIntosh Road, Sarasota. It will be an unforgettable evening celebrating the limitless potential that emerges when children are surrounded by hope, expertise, and unwavering support. In classrooms, therapy rooms, living rooms, and play spaces across their campuses, children are discovering their voices, building resilience, and learning to thrive. Each smile, gesture, and small success reflects the heart of their mission – to nurture potential, strengthen families, and create a community where every child has the chance to flourish. The Wonder Gala shines a light on these journeys of hope, turning generosity into possibility – and helping every child discover their own moment of wonder.
The evening will begin with a celebratory welcome cocktail, followed by an exceptional dining experience catered by Michael’s on East. Enjoy heartfelt narratives and powerful vocals by Allison Nash. There will be silent and live auctions. The evening culminates in an exciting after party with dancing to the music by The Soul Sensations. 
Together, we’ll help more children and families grow, heal, connect, and thrive – creating brighter futures, one moment of wonder at a time.
Individual tickets are $375. Various sponsorships are available.
