As we reflect on our Gala on October 10th, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. 💛 It was an evening full of meaningful moments, joy, and community, and it would not have been possible without the incredible support of so many amazing people.
A special thank you to Kyle Reno for cooking the meat—it was absolutely delicious! We are so grateful to the 40 volunteers who worked tirelessly in the kitchen, and to Cindy Maynard for preparing such a wonderful menu that nourished both body and spirit.
We were blessed by the Okeechobee High School Jazz Band, whose music set a beautiful tone during our Life Hour. Seth Gruber, thank you for delivering such a convicting and inspiring message that touched so many hearts.
To our board members, your dedication and hard work behind the scenes did not go unnoticed. To our clients, your testimonies and participation in the live ultrasounds were powerful moments that reminded us why we do this work every day.
We are deeply grateful to Oakview Church for opening their doors and allowing us to host the gala and use their kitchen, and to the amazing cleaning crew who made everything sparkle afterward. Thank you to those who supported us with sound and visuals, ensuring the evening ran smoothly, and to Kim Hargraves at 1 Stop Party Shop for being so helpful with rentals and last-minute needs.
A huge thank you to Country Side Florist for providing excellent service and fulfilling our floral dreams—your beautiful arrangements added so much to the atmosphere of the evening.
Finally, a heartfelt thanks to the M2L Security Team and the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office for keeping our guests safe both inside and outside the venue.
This evening was a true testament to the power of community, service, and love. We are humbled and grateful for every hand that helped make our Gala a success and for every heart that joined us in celebrating life, hope, and the work of the Pregnancy Center of Okeechobee. 🧡
