Tickets available for the Sixth Annual MarineMax Yacht Gala Jan. 14
The members of MarineMax Fort Myers invite the Southwest Florida community to âan evening under the starsâ with a goal to reach $1 million raised for Golisano Childrenâs Hospital of Southwest Florida since the annual MarineMax Yacht Gala began in 2016.
The event will be held at 6 p.m. at the MarineMax Fort Myers Marina, 14030 McGregor Blvd. Emceed by Jen Stacy, morning anchor for ABC-7 WZVN, guests will hear from Armando Llechu, chief officer of hospital operations and women and children services at Lee Health.
The event will also offer an open bar, catered barbecue, and silent and live auctions including attractive packages such as a guitar signed by Cliff Williams of AC/DC, a one week stay on upper Boca Grande, and a luxury sunset cruise for eight provided by MarineMax. In addition to the event taking place outdoors, guests can also anticipate comprehensive COVID-19 safety measures such as sanitizing stations and complimentary facial masks.
To date, the MarineMax Yacht Gala has raised about $800,000 to help advance innovative programs, technologies and services at Golisano Childrenâs Hospital. Some of these lifesaving programs include pediatric urology services, pediatric burn services, and dialysis services.
