  • The Lotus Gala

    Armature Works

    An annual tradition in Tampa Bay since 2014, this year’s Tampa event – The Lotus Gala – is a celebration of resilience, compassion, and community benefiting Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation. The Lotus Gala draws its name from the lotus flower, a powerful symbol of strength, resilience, and compassion. Rooted in muddy waters, the lotus flower pushes toward the surface to bloom, just like many cancer patients who, despite overwhelming financial burdens, rise with support. At the heart of The Lotus Gala is our mission to provide essential non-medical financial support to cancer patients in need so they can focus on healing – not hardship. Cancer impacts people from all backgrounds, and we’re committed to walking alongside every patient with compassion and care that honors their unique journey. The Lotus Gala is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit and a chance to make a lasting impact. The evening will include dinner, beverages, live and silent auctions, and entertainment by Awaaz Entertainment featuring a DJ, Bhangra performance, and live Dhol drummer.

  • Be the Voice Gala

    Power Design

    The Board of Directors at Suncoast Voices for Children is pleased to announce our 10th Annual Be the Voice Gala, to be held Saturday, October 25th, 2025. Every day, hundreds of thousands of children in the United States find themselves in the foster care system, seeking safety and stability due to circumstances beyond their control. Often, these children end up in the system because extended family lack the resources to care for them. Year after year, we remain committed to our mission to help provide for the unmet needs to keep children out of the dependency system, meet their needs while in the system and give them what they need to succeed once outside the system. The proceeds from this special event are vital to serving the children who are experiencing, or at risk of entering, foster care. We invite you to join us in the celebration to help Suncoast Voices make an impact “Every Step of the Way” for the most vulnerable children in our community. Charity.
