of impact-

utility companies to end or prevent homelessness for
families, veterans, the elderly, and individuals in Manatee
County (while doing the case management for hundreds of
these families and individuals that needed the assistance).
·
295 Veterans received critically needed
services throughout all of our programs.
·
835 of our neighbors received free dental
care at Turning Points with 288 of these patients receiving
partial or full dentures.
·
Our Medical Clinic provided nearly $1 million
in free prescription assistance this past year.
Hats & Heels & Bow Ties centers around a friendly
interactive competition between guests. Celebrity judges
score the guests on several categories regarding the guests’
hats or fascinators, and/or heels or flats and/or bow ties.
Celebrity judges are Summer Smith from ABC7 WWSB, Maverick
Johnson from 92.1 CTQ, and Shantel Norman from Jah Movement.
Guests attend the luncheon wearing a hat or fascinator of
their creation or purchased. They can also wear special or
unique heels or flats. And lastly they can also wear a
special or unique bow tie. Exceptional prizes are awarded to
the winners.
Tickets are $75.00 and there are several sponsorship
opportunities available. Included in the ticket cost is a
glass of champagne, a sit down lunch, dessert and photo
booth pictures. Guests arrive early to enjoy and shop all of
the raffle prizes. There are several sponsorship packages
available but unique sponsorships can also be created.
Donated gifts for the raffle prizes are also needed. Over
250 women and men from Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood
Ranch attend Hats & Heels & Bow Ties so this is a great way
to showcase a business with a far reach. This is a
well-attended event that usually sells out.
