Council on Aging Martin Celebrates 50 Years and Launches Pep Rally Gala for 2024
STUART, FL - The Council on Aging Martin County is celebrating 50 successful years and getting fired up for the future at their Pep Rally Gala taking place November 9.
The Francis Langford Theater at the Kane Center will be the scene of fun food, fast music, and high energy as the Council on Aging celebrates its 50th anniversary in grand style from 6 to 10 pm. For dinner, guests will sip spirited signature drinks as they enjoy gourmet indulgences dreamed up by The Chef’s Table. The entertainment for the night features a DJ and Live Band Fusion. From cheerleaders performing mesmerizing stunt work to a smorgasbord of candies for dessert, everything about the Pep Rally Gala will be unique and entertaining.
“We’re reinventing the Gala experience and are excited to introduce a refreshed and energetic Council on Aging as we round out 50 years and open the door to the future,” said Council on Aging Martin’s President and CEO Karen Ripper. “The pep rally theme encourages our community to show support and get involved in making sure we have the services that families will need as older loved ones reach out for help.”
To make the event more exciting, gala organizers are offering new ways to sponsor and attend. In addition to signature level sponsorships, donors can choose the Mascot level at $500. An easy donation at the Mascot level brings with it two tickets and allows organizations to show the community their ongoing support for the cause. But the real fun begins when mascots form teams and compete for bragging rights as they work to beat out the competition in fundraising for the Council on Aging’s programs and services. It’s a way to “get rowdy with us,” organizers said.
Individual tickets are also available at $175, and groups of ten can reserve a seated lounge space within the event for $1600.
Tickets, mascot and team sponsorships, and more details are available at coamartin.org/PepRallyGala.
“While we hope everyone will come for the fun,” Ripper said, “we also have a serious purpose. People can sometimes struggle for long periods of time with challenges related to the health of loved ones, their need for socialization, or simply getting a hot meal each day. We want the community to know that the Council on Aging Martin is the community’s hub for senior resources. Get to know us and let us help.”
