The elegant Tux & Trees Gala was held on Saturday, December 3 at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art center in Fort Myers. This glamorous evening began with valet parking and a cocktail hour and ended with the opportunity to bid on spectacular holiday trees in an exhilarating live auction. Our auctioneer, Scott Robertson, is one of the state’s most entertaining fundraisers!
In addition to purchasing trees for their own homes or offices, many of our guests donate trees to other charities. Auction winners have given trees to the Children’s Hospital, the CCMI Soup Kitchen, Our Mother’s Home, and many other grateful charities.
