2024 Emma’s Wish Gala, held March 15th at Talis Park Golf Club in Naples, was a resounding success. Bringing together community members, supporters, and partners for an unforgettable evening dedicated to a very worthy cause. The event featured an inspiring program filled with heartfelt stories, engaging entertainment, and generous contributions that will make a lasting impact.
Attendees were greeted by an electric violinist from Pzazz, who played while attendees participated in a tremendous silent auction that included: 3-nights in Sonoma, 4-night golf getaway, signed photo of Elvis and Ali, Paul McCartney’s handwritten lyrics, a handwritten and signed cookie recipe of Taylor Swift, various artwork as well as spa and libation accoutrement. Special presentations were made by Anthony Emma – KOVA Foundation, Taylor Petras – Wink News, and Debi Wilson – VP of Oncology at Lee Health. Entertainer FM Band performed for our guests through dinner and into a tremendous dance party that lasted into the evening. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and generosity as supporters came together to fundraise.
