Goodwill Manasota and the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast

Florida are teaming together for a fabulous Fashion Show

and Luncheon with some amazing models from the Junior League

of Sarasota who also serve as Role Models. JULY 22, 2016

ABOUT THE EVENT

Last year, this sold out event drew more than 300 fashionistas,

who love to see fashions from Goodwill. This year the Girl Scouts

will be repurposing black dresses and incorporating their own

designs to be modeled by the Junior League Role Models.

In addition to the luncheon and fashion show, Goodwill helps

educate the Girl Scouts about protecting the environment through

their reduce-reuse-repurpose program while the Junior League

helps the Girl Scouts obtain knowledge about becoming young

philanthropists and giving back to their community.

This unique event is an ideal networking opportunity with a substantial, sophisticated audience who appreciates your commitment to the community. The Presenting Sponsor will have an exclusive opportunity for a year-long promotion to showcase their corporate social responsibility.

GRAS

GALA

Goodwill Manasota invites you to the most anticipated event of the

season, the Mardi Gras Gala. Guests dress in beads and masks, enjoy

amazing Cajun food such as shrimp etouffee, crab cakes, jambalaya, New

Orleans-style drinks with open bar, fabulous silent and live auction items,

live music and dancing. FEBRUARY 28, 2017

This is the twelfth year of the event, which was conceived by Michael’s

On East co-proprietor, Philip Mancini, in response to the devastation of

our Goodwill family in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. Funds raised at

the time, went to help those in need there and locally for Goodwill

Manasota. The Gala has since evolved to be the largest fundraiser of the

year for us and goes to support all our special initiatives.

2017 Co-chairs are Lisa and Stanley Eding, both Goodwill Ambassadors

and community members who have made a commitment to share the

mission of Goodwill Manasota. This event is always sold out … so make

sure you secure your sponsorship today!

This event is considered the BEST PARTY in town! It’s more than just a special event. It has an exceptional opportunity to connect with a substantial, diverse audience who appreciates your commitment to the community and Goodwill. The Presenting Sponsor will have the exclusive opportunity for a year-long promotion to showcase their corporate social responsibility.

The Good Futures program connects our Goodwill Ambassadors to youth who are transitioning out of foster care, and provide resources and mentorships to help them obtain a better future.

The Good Neighbor program provides free classes and workshops to the community which are held in our Community Rooms throughout the counties we serve. Ambassadors, who are leaders in their fields, share their experience and knowledge with the community.

SERVICES

PROGRAMS

Goodwill Industries was one of the first organizations to respond to the multitude of

challenges faced by veterans and their families. Goodwill has designed programs and

services in response to the federal initiative and call to action - ‘Joining Forces,

Taking Action to Serve American Military Families’ - from First Lady Michelle Obama

and Dr. Jill Biden.

Goodwill anticipates an increased need for our programs when commonly accessed

veteran services and resources are overextended and unable to accommodate all the

needs.

We are committed to improving the education and wellness opportunities for

veterans and military families through case coordination and mentoring. Hiring

veterans is not charity – it is an investment in our community.

Goodwill Manasota’s goal is to enhance integration into the community while

honoring our veterans with the appropriate respect for their service to our country

and our community.

With the alliances of community partners we are able to maximize resources and

avoid duplication of services, to help transition our veterans into employment

aligned with their vocational goals - hence reducing and eliminating barriers to

employment and providing opportunities for higher paying positions for veterans

and their families.
