Council on Aging Martin is Getting Fired Up for New Pep Rally Gala 2024
STUART, FL - It’s the World Series, the NFP Playoffs, and March Madness rolled into one! It’s the 50th Anniversary Pep Rally Gala for the Council on Aging Martin County, and it’s coming to the Kane Center in Stuart on November 9.
Twelve teams of energetic supporters have already formed and are raising money in a fierce competition for bragging rights at this new fundraising event. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams at the Pep Rally Gala.
“It’s going to be a fun night for the teams and everyone who attends the event,” said Council on Aging Martin President and CEO Karen Ripper. “The ultimate winners, though, will be our clients, whose needs range from Meals on Wheels delivered to their homes daily to assistance with rent, prescriptions, and navigation through the social services network.”
Teams include Council on Aging Martin Staff Members, Council on Aging Martin Board Members, Closets by Design, EP&C Auctions and Real Estate, FPL, Lotus Loft, New Home Dream Team, Nikki Norton and Team Purple, Orange Theory Fitness, Raymond James, Seacoast Bank, and Water’s Edge Health Care & Assisted Living.
Each team has a goal of at least $2,000. They’re exercising all of their creativity to raise funds. Orange Theory Fitness, for example, is hosting a fun 1.5 workout to raise money and competing mightily against Lotus Loft Yoga Studio. New Home Dream Team members are looking to a variety of fundraisers to show their huge heart for seniors including a giveback night hosted by Hurricane Grill & Wings in Palm City. Team Captain Duff Mahan of Seacoast Bank is enjoying a chance to meet new people in the community as he and his wife, Devon, raise funds.
Individual tickets for the Pep Rally Gala are available at $175, and groups of ten can reserve a seated lounge space within the event for $1600. Sponsorship opportunities are still available.
