The Uncommon Friends Foundation will host its annual Uncommon Evening Gala titled “Be Uncommon!” on Nov. 10 at the Burroughs Home and Gardens in Fort Myers, with a cocktail reception from 6 to 6:45 p.m. and dinner starting at 7 p.m.
The foundation’s signature event celebrates the organization’s core values, awards scholarships to deserving individuals and showcases the recipient of the business ethics award. This year’s award nominees are Scotlynn, CONRIC PR + Marketing, and Sanibel Captiva Community Bank.
The evening will include a tour of the historic Burroughs Home and riverfront dining, while attendees are attired in their interpretation of “Florida Formal.” The gala will also feature John Morgan from Morgan and Morgan law firm as the distinguished guest speaker.
The gala raises funds to support its mission for character education, business ethics, scholarships and historical preservation. Support of sponsors and individuals throughout the community is essential to the foundation’s success.
