Join us for a beautiful North Florida afternoon under the trees, where families, friends, and community come together for comfort food, laughter, and connection.

Gather in the Grove is Hang Tough Foundation’s Chicken Pilau event, hosted on a scenic plantation surrounded by sprawling old oak and pine trees and open green space. Guests will enjoy a hearty serving of traditional Chicken Pilau, relaxed afternoon time for kids to play and explore, and the opportunity to visit with local vendors and small businesses that help make our community special.

This family-friendly afternoon is more than a meal, it’s a celebration of togetherness and local support. Proceeds from the event help Hang Tough provide encouragement, curated experiences, and meaningful support to families facing childhood illness and special needs. 

Bring a blanket or a chair, bring the kids, and come ready to gather under in the Grove, where community grows, local businesses shine, and hope takes root.
