Event Details

It has been a challenging year thus far, with rights and freedoms being rolled back for many, leaving communities feeling uncertain and heavy-hearted. And yet, we know that when we come together—with joy, music, and purpose—we keep the spirit of peace and possibility alive.

That’s why we’re so excited to invite you to our 13th Annual FUNdraising Gala—a night to celebrate community, resilience, and the power of positive change.

Saturday Evening,  December 13, 2025, at 6:00 PM at The Wooly

💃🕺 Come party and dance with us to the incredible sounds of Gainesville’s own Shitty Beatles! Yes, that’s their name—but don’t let them fool you. They’re overflowing with talent, fun, and Beatles magic that always gets the crowd smiling, singing, and dancing along.

🍴 Instead of a formal sit-down dinner, you’ll enjoy an abundant buffet spread of hors d’oeuvres and delicious desserts—designed to keep the evening flowing, encourage mingling, and leave plenty of space for music, laughter, and dancing.

✨ “Together we’ll celebrate with updates, heartfelt conversations, and the warmth of community—united in support of the enduring cause of peace.”

Our Special Evening Includes:

  • Heavy Hors d'oeuvres and Desserts—catered by The TOP!

  • Holiday Shopping at our always exciting Silent Auction!

  • Peacebuilder of the Year Award

  • Great Photo Opportunities

  • Live Music and Dancing with the Shitty Beatles


 Join with us in kicking off the holidays in style. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
