Back to Press Release

16th Annual Oldsmar Cares Gala - Boots and Bling !

We would like to invite you to join us on Thursday, February 12th, 2026, for our 16th Annual Wine and Food Gala.  The theme is "Boots and Bling!” and we hope you will saddle up in your best cowboy and cowgirl attire and do-si-do on over to join us!

 

The 2026 Gala at a new venue, Fat Beet Farm. Guests will enjoy music, dancing, drinks, plus delicious delicacies from the best local restaurants and a selection of desserts and coffee. The event will feature our live and silent auctions, entertainment, and special guests.


We invite you to become part of our excitement! Our annual Gala is Oldsmar’s biggest event of the year as we host over 250 guests. We want to showcase your business during the Gala. One way to do this is by being a Gala sponsor.  We're thrilled to share our sponsorship levels for this gala.  Securing your sponsorship is easy at our website:  https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/make-a-difference-sponsor-the-16th-annual-oldsmar-cares-wine-and-food-gala-boots-and-bling   If you prefer, a mailed check works just as well. 

Another way to get recognition for your business is with an in-kind donation.  You will receive recognition during the event along with exposure on our Oldsmar Cares website and also be featured on the auction site. We expect hundreds of people to read all about your generous gift. 

The items which consistently get the most attention (and the highest bids!) at fundraising auctions are: 

 ● Gift cards for local experiences
 ● Donate your own basket or individual item to highlight your business 


If you are interested in donating an auction item, please reach to me.


This Gala is the major fundraiser for Oldsmar Cares each year.   Our free-of-charge programs include a Food Pantry, Clothes Closet, Financial Assistance (for Oldsmar residents only), Weekend Food 4 Kids at local elementary schools, Children's Christmas, Holiday Food Program at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, and more.   This event provides critical funds to support these programs throughout the year.  


Founded in 1997, Oldsmar Cares is a 100% volunteer run 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Oldsmar and the surrounding zip codes of 34695, 33635, and 34684. 


We are looking forward to a Wild West evening with you!
