An evening of Reflection, Connection & Celebration
Join us for the Gala for Gessner designed to honor the contribution of one of our founding members, Robert Gessner. This homecoming event will allow us to raise funds for STEM education benefiting students of FMI STEM Academy and the underserved youth of Central Florida.
Every dollar raised helps us close the STEM literacy gap among youth in the Central Florida area. Whether you dress to impress or show up in your favorite business casual, you will leave with a renewed sense of purpose, reconnection with old friends and a resolve for a purpose that transforms lives!
