2008 OMYF BLACK TIE AND TENNIES CHARITY GALA
Each year Central Floridians come to this landmark event for one reason and one reason only: the kids. For the 2nd year in a row the 18th annual OMYF Black Tie and Tennies Charity Gala was held at the JW Marriott-Grande Lakes. It was sophisticated, chic, and filled with exciting games and auction prizes to raise money for the OMYF, a fund of the McCormick Foundation. This year the gala featured a karaoke stage, a dance floor and a display of silent and live auction items.
The Orlando Magic would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the dedicated Magic staff, gala event staff and volunteers that made this event possible. If not for these committed individuals this event would have never taken place.
The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation, a fund of the McCormick Foundation, focuses on helping every child in Central Florida realize their full potential, especially those most at risk, by supporting programs and partnerships that empower families and change lives. Since inception, the OMYF has distributed nearly $14 million to local non-profit organizations. To learn more about or to make a contribution to OMYF, please log onto www.orlandomagic.com.
