Trade the tuxedo for a tuxedo t-shirt and join us for the 5th Annual United for Impact: Tuxedo T-Shirt Gala—an evening where community impact meets unforgettable fun.



This isn't your typical formal fundraiser. It's a celebration of generosity, creativity, and the people who make North Central Florida stronger. Whether you pair your tuxedo t-shirt with jeans, cowboy boots, sequins, sneakers, fishnets, or feather boas, you'll fit right in.



Together, we'll enjoy an exciting silent auction, great food and drinks, live entertainment, and inspiring stories that showcase how your support is creating lasting change across Alachua, Bradford, Dixie, Gilchrist, Levy, and Union counties.



Most importantly, every ticket purchased helps United Way North Central Florida invest in solutions that improve financial security, healthy communities, youth opportunity, and community resilience for our neighbors—especially hardworking ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households who often struggle to make ends meet despite working full-time.



Why Attend?



When you attend the United for Impact Gala, you're doing more than enjoying a memorable evening—you become part of a community committed to making a difference.



Your support helps:



• Connect families to critical resources through 211.
• Prepare young children for success through ReadingPals.
• Invest in nonprofit programs that strengthen local families.
• Support disaster preparedness and long-term recovery efforts.
• Expand opportunities for ALICE families to achieve greater financial stability.



Every ticket makes an impact.
