Join us on Saturday, May 2nd from 4:00–7:00 PM at the Sanders Beach Resource Center for United Way of West Florida’s Annual Glitz & Gallop Gala, a one-of-a-kind fundraising experience inspired by the excitement and elegance of the 152nd Kentucky Derby.
Guests will enjoy watching the Kentucky Derby LIVE while sipping handcrafted cocktails and savoring delicious hors d’oeuvres. This high-energy event blends Southern charm with meaningful impact, directly supporting those in our community who are ALICE — Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — hardworking individuals and families who earn above the federal poverty level yet make too much to qualify for most government assistance. These members of our community struggle to cover basic necessities and live paycheck to paycheck.
Event Highlights:
Dress Code: Put on your best Derby-inspired attire, place your bets, and join us for an unforgettable evening where glamour meets generosity.

This year’s Glitz & Gallop Gala proudly honors Chief Jennifer Frank of the Milton Police Department as our Honorary Chair. Event proceeds directly benefit those in our community who are ALICE—hardworking individuals and families who earn above the federal poverty level, too much to qualify for traditional government assistance, yet still struggle to cover essentials like housing, food, childcare, and healthcare.
