Children’s Home Society of Florida held its ninth annual Portraits of Possibilities Gala on February 20 at the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Community in Indialantic. Attended by more than 270 guests and themed “An Evening in Greece,” the gala featured live entertainment, gourmet Greek cuisine by Tim Webber Events and a casino sponsored by Flammio Financial Group.

Led by Auctioneer Sheriff Ivey and Emcee Greg Pallone of CF News 13, the evening’s live auction and paddle raiser raised over $48,000.

“The generosity of the Brevard community during this event was both inspiring and humbling,” said Kimberly Pleasants, executive director of Children’s Home Society of Florida. “I’m proud to be a part of our wonderful team of staff and volunteers, including our own Maria Seelman who provides unwavering dedication to helping our girls by spearheading this event year after year.”

Proceeds from Portraits of Possibilities, totaling over $134,000, will help Children’s Home Society of Florida continue to provide care and services to more than 2,500 children and family members in Brevard County.
