Camillus House celebrated its 25th Annual Hope for All Gala at the InterContinental Miami, raising a record-breaking $2,361,651 to support Miami’s most vulnerable populations. This milestone event marked a quarter-century of generosity and community impact, bringing together philanthropists, corporate partners, and dedicated supporters.

Themed “Tropicana Nights,” the gala invited guests to experience a vibrant evening of casual elegance, entertainment, and philanthropy. Attendees were welcomed with a cocktail reception, setting the stage for an unforgettable night. The celebration continued with a three-course dinner, an open bar sponsored by BACARDI, and a lively after-party performance by the renowned Latin band Timbalive. Guests embraced the festive “Miami Chic” attire and enthusiastically participated in live and silent auctions, bidding on exclusive luxury items and experiences.

The evening’s success was made possible by Event Sponsor Coastal Construction and Presenting Sponsor E11EVEN Miami. Their steadfast support, along with that of all attendees and contributors, made this year’s gala one for the record books.

Proceeds from the event will fund Camillus House’s critical programs for the unhoused, continuing its nearly 65-year legacy of transforming lives. Camillus House extends its heartfelt gratitude to all who made the event a resounding success.
