This gala brings together more than 400 leaders from South Florida’s marine and business community. For three decades, this sold-out event has served as the most significant fundraiser for the award-winning Seafarers’ House, which provides vital care and support to the thousands of port workers and mariners who visit Port Everglades each year. Your contribution will have a tangible impact on the lives of these dedicated individuals.
For ninety-five years, the Port Everglades Pilots Association has made their mark on the maritime industry through exceptional professional achievements and profound community leadership. Sponsoring this gala presents a unique and powerful opportunity for us to demonstrate its respect and admiration for their accomplishments while aligning with an organization that makes a real difference in the lives of seafarers.
