Please join us for a magical night under the stars, filled with fun and surprises in one of Floral Park’s hidden treasures!
The Opening Night Gala Celebration is our premier scholarship fundraising activity. This is an idea borrowed from the Haus and Garten Tour in German Village, Columbus, Ohio, where several devoted Floral Park residents relocated for work. This evening under the stars features premium wines, craft beer and cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, food, entertainment, and live and silent auctions. This year, the event was held on Saturday, April 19, 2025 at a lovely home in Floral Park with over 150 people in attendance.
Our 2025 Opening Night Gala Celebration sold out in record time! Thank you to everyone who made their reservations early and helped sell out the event!
