Special Thanks to Our Sponsors
Chef’s Gala wouldn’t be possible without our host sponsor,Walt Disney World. Because of the restaurants who generously donate all the food served and the wine distributors who keep the drinks flowing, Heart of Florida United Way is able to invest 95 cents of every dollar raised at Chef’s Gala back into the community.
Sponsorship are still available. Emails ChefsGala@HFUW.org to request more information or view the sponsorship packet.
