Some evenings are simply enjoyable. Others have the power to change lives.
We invite you to join us for the Eyes Wide Open Gala, an evening of hope, inspiration, and purpose as our community comes together to stand against human trafficking.
Your ticket is more than admission to a beautiful evening—it is an investment in awareness, education, and support for local organizations that are working every day to help survivors rebuild their lives. Together, we can shine a light on an issue that often goes unseen and show that Central Florida is committed to protecting the vulnerable and bringing hope where it's needed most.
Enjoy a wonderful dinner, participate in our silent auction and fundraising activities, hear from our keynote speaker, Lisa Haba, and connect with others who believe that every person deserves freedom, dignity, and the chance to heal.
Whether you attend with friends, family, coworkers, or as a sponsor, your presence truly matters. Every seat filled helps us raise awareness, strengthen our community, and provide meaningful support to organizations on the front lines of this fight.
