The Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation is thrilled to announce the Red Shoe Party, set to take place on Saturday, February 8, 2025, from 6 to 10 p.m., at Old Florida Fish House in Seagrove. This highly anticipated event will transport guests to the magical world of the Emerald City while supporting a noble cause—providing for the needs of abused, abandoned, and neglected children in Okaloosa and Walton Counties.

Guests are invited to don their finest cocktail attire and, of course, their most dazzling ruby slippers for a chance to win exciting prizes in the Red Shoe Contest, with categories for Sportiest, Most Glamorous, and Most Creative.

Attendees will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring live entertainment, an exciting silent auction, delicious hors d’oeuvres, four elevated entrée stations, and an exquisite dessert selection. Themed signature cocktails will complement the evening’s festivities, adding a whimsical touch to this elegant affair. Heartfelt moments will also be shared as guests hear inspiring stories about the impact the Guardian ad Litem Foundation has on the lives of local foster children.

“The Red Shoe Party is a night where we come together as a community to create lasting change for the most vulnerable children in our area. This event is more than just an evening of elegance and entertainment; it is a powerful statement that every child deserves love, support, and stability,” said Virginia Davis, President of the Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation. “With each ticket purchased, we take a step closer to providing these children with the resources they need to feel safe, valued, and empowered.”

Tickets for this special event are available for $150 per person and can be purchased through Eventbrite [bit.ly/RedShoeParty] or via Venmo to @NWFGALF – please include attendee names and “Red Shoe Party” in the memo. Space is limited, and early reservations are encouraged.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and individuals looking to make a meaningful impact. Various sponsorship packages include exclusive benefits and recognition during the event. For more information, please contact Virginia Davis at [email protected].

All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation, supporting their mission to advocate for the best interests of abused, abandoned, and neglected children within the court system.
