Gatsby’s Getaway at the Jac

SFSC Foundation’s Legacy Showcase

Gatsby's Getaway Save the Date Celebrating 40 years of changing lives with 100 years of strength and beauty in downtown Avon Park
June 13, 2024

5:30 p.m. Sponsor Speakeasy (sponsors only)
6:30 p.m. General Public (all ticketholders)

 

We invite you to step back in time to the Roaring ’20s at the Hotel Jacaranda as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SFSC Foundation and 100 years since the “gracious lady” of downtown Avon Park began to be built brick by brick.

The evening will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine, all while kicking back and enjoying the tunes from Vivacity, a five-piece band with an extensive song list of music from the 1920s, perfect for the Gatsby’s Getaway and the prohibition era.

This event is a fundraiser for the SFSC Foundation as we prepare to build for the future with SFSC’s on-campus student housing.

So ladies, don your flapper dress, pearls, and feathers; gents, bring out the suspenders and spats — This event will be the cat’s meow of the season!

For details, please contact the SFSC Foundation Office at 863-453-3133 or foundation@southflorida.edu.
