Since 1924, United Way of West Florida has fought for the health, education, and financial stability of every citizen in our community. We do this by working collaboratively with hundreds of companies, thousands of community members, local governments, and local nonprofit agencies. Working together is the best way to improve lives and build a stronger community and we hope to do that on May 4th, 2024, at the Glitz & Gallop Gala, our 100th Anniversary Celebration.

Join us and help celebrate our 100 years in the making as we watch the 150th Kentucky Derby. The event will be held on Saturday, May 4^th, 2024, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This event is a fundraiser for United Way of West Florida. Funds raised at this event will help go back to our community through our Community Investment process. To learn more, please visit our website at uwwf.org/gala.
