Spring is here, which means the third annual Ultimate Garden Party is just around the corner! Located at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, this afternoon soiree offers an abundance of memorable moments while raising funds and transforming lives through nutritious meals and hope. Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 18, 2024, because this is an event you will not want to miss!
Let’s reminisce about memorable moments from last year.
The Enchanting Entrance
Adorned with beautiful foliage and neon lights, the living hedge wall enchants guests with a welcome glass of champagne, served by our helping hands. Have your red carpet moment and take a picture with this Instagram-worthy entrance.
The Trunk Show
With locally owned businesses offering handcrafted soy candles, fun jewelry and more, the trunk show features a lovely variety of merchants for you to shop at during the event. Be sure to shop by for a good cause, as each trunk show vendor will donate 25% of sales to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida’s mission of fighting hunger and feeding hope.
The Casino
Jackpot! Ultimate Garden Party features an array of entertainment and games such as blackjack, roulette, and craps. Bring your A-game, gather your friends, and let’s play for a purpose!
The Live Auction
“I am so excited to hear about all the new live auction trips that will be featured during the Ultimate Garden Party,” says Katie Johnson, last year’s top bidder for the trip to South Africa.
From international trips to unique experiences, the live auction is easily a fan favorite of the Ultimate Garden Party. Guests bid on exceptional dining experiences, luxury travel, and more to raise funds to help fight hunger in Central Florida. Stay tuned to discover what exciting items you could take home this year!
The Key
“Having the opportunity for my key to be selected on the stage was such a rush! What a fun experience!” says Ashley Bedford, last year’s Full Bloom lucky winner.
A chance to win fun excursions like glass blowing, sunset cruises, and roundtrip flights, the Full Bloom Chance Drawing is not to be missed. Exciting suspense fills the room as each key taunts a potential winner. With only 150 chances to win, guests can purchase a key that might open the door to the ultimate grand prize. One lucky winner will take home a prize package filled with hotel stays, theme park tickets, date night plans, household goodies and so much more. Remember, you must be present to unlock the door to win!
The Message
Donna shared her powerful story of hope and courage with event attendees. Her story of how unexpected challenges caused her to cut down on living expenses, including food, captivated the audience.
The Bid from the Heart that followed her story was an overwhelming moment of generosity that made it possible to provide 1.3 million meals for neighbors like Donna across Central Florida.
