Each year, the Goodness Gala selects one Central Florida-based nonprofit to receive a fully donated and professionally produced gala, valued at over $100,000 in in-kind services. From venue rental and catering to entertainment, decor, and coordination—our industry partners come together to give back in the most impactful way we know how.
