You’ll journey to a Wonka wonderland, where elegance and fun unite to transform lives and create brighter futures for Miami families. The event will feature a cocktail hour, live entertainment, an online auction, dinner and dancing.

The Gala is Branches’ largest fundraiser for the year and supports the services it provides to over 10,000 individuals, including 450+ students who receive daily after-school enrichment, tutoring, and college support, plus thousands of adults who receive financial coaching, microbusiness support, free tax prep, emergency services, Thanksgiving meals and more. Trish and Dan Bell are serving as this year’s Philanthropic Chairs and Leah and Phillip Sylvester are this year’s Gala Chairs. The event will also honor Kimberly Green of The Green Family Foundation with the Trish and Dan Bell Community Empowerment Award, for their dedicated support of the South Florida community.
