Becoming Cosmopolitan: Mad About Hunger
October 8, 2026
Don’t be late for this very important date! Our annual Becoming Cosmopolitan fundraising event returns with its whimsical twist: Mad About Hunger. Join us on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at The Ranch Concert Hall & Saloon for an unforgettable evening.
More than 300 guests will tumble down the rabbit hole for a night filled with imaginative cocktails, a curious tea party experience, delightful bites, an exciting silent auction, and plenty of surprises along the way.
But beneath the imagination and celebration is a very real truth that for many in our community, hunger is a nightmare they face every day. This event brings us together to change that reality by supporting our mission to end hunger and homelessness in Southwest Florida.
Mark your calendars—this is a night of wonder with a purpose that truly matters.
