The Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation will host its annual Garden Gala on October 26 at The Shop at Baldwin Turf in Niceville, with all proceeds benefiting local foster children.

  • The fundraising event runs from 4-7 p.m. at 739 John Sims Parkway and will feature wine from Thompson 31 Fifty Wines, craft beer, al fresco dining, live music, a wine pull and a silent art auction. 

“When a child enters foster care, they’re often carrying a heartbreak far bigger than their years,” said Virginia Davis, president of the Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation. “Through the Garden Gala, we’re not just raising funds — we’re planting seeds of hope, stability, and love that can change the course of a child’s life.”

Tickets cost $150 per person and include wine and dinner. Seating is limited, and organizers encourage early reservations.

Tickets can be purchased here or through Venmo @NWFGALF. Those using Venmo should include attendee names and “Garden Gala” in the memo.

The Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation advocates for the best interests of abused, abandoned and neglected children within the court system. The organization aims to ensure every child in foster care has a voice and access to resources for a better future.

More information about the event and the foundation is available here.
