Update August 23, 2024:  SOLD OUT

Thank you to all those that are helping to make this event so special. Not only are we entirely sold out, but we are grateful to all those local businesses that are showing their support and sponsorship through their generosity. Heron Hill Winery, Hazlitt Red Cat Cellar, Engine 14 Brewery, and Joseph's Wayside Market have, once again, thrown their support behind making a difference in our community. We are also grateful for the culinary talents behind Joseph's Wayside Market, Monica's Pies, Old School Cafe, and Wegmans for providing this year's sweets table. And, a special thank you goes out to Toni and Brian, of Messineo et al for their endless creativity in designing the Celebrate Naples Logos and all the graphic design work associated with the Gala and Celebrate Naples. Without their ability to take one man's vision and turn it into something tangible for all to see, we wouldn't be nearly as successful.
 

With our sincerest gratitude,

 

Lisa Messineo & Tom Hawks - Co-Chairperson, Celebrate Naples Boots & Blue Jeans Gala
​********************************************************************************************************************************************

Thanks to an overwhelming response to Celebrate Naples Boots & Blue Jeans Gala, we are now down to our last four tables. You don’t want to miss this unique event. A great time is a sure thing! If you haven’t been able to get that 8-some together, don’t worry about it, individual tickets are available. And, who knows, this may be a great opportunity to make some new friends.
 

In addition to being greeted by the music of Bruce Wayne and The Fiddler, a dynamic duo whose entertainment style is going to have you tapping your toes the minute you walk in, we are thrilled to announce that, once again, Heron Hill Winery and Engine 14 Brewery will be providing a complimentary first beverage. As our featured winery and brewery, their outstanding and award-winning wines and beers will be featured throughout the evening at the fully licensed cash bar!

Imagine as the sun dips below the horizon, guests arrive at a rustic ski lodge. The air buzzes with anticipation as a boot and blue jeans clad crowd fills the space with laughter and excitement. Celebrate Naples '24, is thrilled to announce the return of the Boots & Blue Jeans Gala. We will host this casual, fun-filled night with a country western theme at Bristol Mountain's spacious Rocket Lodge. With its expansive patio and fire pits, fully licensed bar, well-lit parking lots, and gorgeous back drop of Bristol Mountain, it is the ideal location for this year's event.

 

What makes this fundraising event even more special is that we have selected our local comfort home, Hospeace House as it beneficiary. 100% of the profits from the Gala will go to support this caring community asset. Hospeace House receives no payments or insurance assistance from those they serve, relying 100% on donations and grants such as this year's 2024 Wildflower Challenge. With this challenge, The Wildflower Foundation, will match all donations raised by the Gala, further helping this critical community-based organization. For more information, go to HospeaceHouse.org.

 

At a stage off the fire-lit patio we welcome back the ever-popular modern country band Sticks & Stones (thesticksandstonesband.com). This six member band is composed of some of the finest musicians in Rochester. Once the fiddle wails, the guitar twangs, the dance floor beckons. Dance the night away under the stars (weather permitting) for another unforgettable night. And, don't forget your best blue jeans, your favorite cowboy boots, and get that Stetson out. Yee-haw!!

 

Stay tuned as we have more information to share on the evening’s entertainment, menu, and event details. It will be a memorable night!
