Uncommon Evening

January 21, 2021 – 6 to 9 p.m.

Each year, the Uncommon Friends Foundation and its supporters gather to celebrate the core values and principles of the uncommon friends and award scholarships to deserving recipients, recognize the efforts of a local educator who champions character education in the classroom, and showcase a local business that demonstrates high ethical standards. Join us at the outdoor Gale McBride Pavilion on the riverfront grounds of the Burroughs Home and Gardens located at 2505 First Street in the downtown Fort Myers River District.

Guests can watch the sun set below the horizon, while visiting with new and old friends over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. An elegant dinner precedes the announcements of scholarship winners, as well as the winner of the Champion Character Education Teacher of the Year award and the Business Ethics award.

We Count on Support from Our Community and Local Businesses!

The Uncommon Evening Gala is the Uncommon Friends Foundation’s annual signature event that raises funds to support its efforts toward character education, business ethics, scholarships, and historical preservation all year long. Support of sponsors and individuals throughout our community is vital to our success.
