Festa del Vino continued to thrill guests this year, and will benefit our Equine Therapy Program. For a $50 donation, guests were able to select from an array of masked wines.

Send a Kid to Camp

More than 75 campers helped kick off Send a Kid to Camp to the sound of "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons, providing guests with an unforgettable opening ceremony and record-setting giving.

YOU ROCK!

Thanks to you, we raised $1.3 MILLION during Send a Kid to Camp!

Live Auction

Auctioneer DawnMarie Kotsonis jump started the bidding with a yachting experience by SeaDream Yacht Club which rolled into a bidding frenzy for a hands on chocolate workshop & private chef dinner with Rachel Dunn Chocolates and Chef Victor Scargle, selling for $100,000.

With the overwhelming support of volunteers, donors, Epicurean Ensemble participants, guests and the community, we raised over $1.7 million for the children and families we serve.

Michael Franti and Spearhead

Day in the Park ended on a high note. Guests were on their feet and dancing, thrilled with the special performance by Michael Franti and Spearhead.

Camper Party

Our campers enjoyed Day in the Park as well, filling the day with cotton candy, balloon animals, ice cream, sno cones, pom poms, and photo booth fun!

As always, the day would not be possible without the help from our 350 volunteers. We greatly appreciate your support of TTFF and the time you give to ensure Day in the Park is a success!
