“Food is a necessity for all people, no matter their age or background. It does not discriminate. I feel that no one should go hungry, be hungry, or feel that food is a luxury.” – Carralyce Buford, Ultimate Garden Party Co-Chair
I donate my time to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida because I’m passionate about eradicating food insecurity in Central Florida. I have had the pleasure of working side-by-side with the staff, committee members and volunteers as the co-chair of Ultimate Garden Party. Last year’s event helped raise over 1.6 million meals for our neighbors facing hunger. This year we’d love to raise even more meals and make the 2nd Annual Ultimate Garden Party an affair to remember!
The community’s support is critical in fighting hunger in Central Florida. We’d love for you to join us for the 2nd Annual Ultimate Garden Party at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek on May 20, 2023! Be sure not to miss this “party with a purpose” and don your best spring dapper attire. The fashion advice I live by and recommend as a guide when putting together your look for the Ultimate Garden Party is…
“People will stare, make it worth their while” -Harry Winston
