The Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Hialeah will hold a fundraiser gala in March to help support a local organization and honor noteworthy people.
The Hearts & Stars Gala is an annual event where people can enjoy a night of dancing and tasting bites from local restaurants. The gala brings together community leaders and supporters to help raise money for the Little Lighthouse Foundation’s mission of supporting youth in need. The Shining Light Award Winner for 2026 will be Marc Bell, and the Volunteer of the Year Award Winner is Nazeem Hasan. All guests must wear black-tie attire to enter the gala.
The Little Lighthouse Foundation is an organization that was created by Robert Sena in 2010 to provide local children with services that improve their quality of life. Many programs are funded by the foundation, such as Adopt A Meal, Move and Groove, Back to School, and Craft Night. The organization has more than 2,000 registered volunteers and has impacted over 25,000 local children. The group also has more than 200 corporate partners.
The gala will be on Saturday, March 7 at 9:00 pm, and the event will last until 2:00 am. General admission is $263.65 per person, and VIP experiences will cost $736.15. There are also VIP tables available at the venue that range from $5,000 to $20,000. Companies can sponsor the gala by paying between $20,000 and $100,000. Organizations that host similar events can honor their sponsors with displays made using banner printing services.
